Join an Aqua-natal class, spending time at a pool with other women is fun and relaxing. The room should be large enough to allow you to try different positions,and for the midwife to set up her equipment. You may like to make up a bed or put down a mattress on the floor. Bean bags and cushions can offer support if you decide to deliver 'on land'. Candles can provide a gentle relaxing light or have a low watt lamp.
Essential oils can be beneficial for massage or burning.
Try a foot massage in the early to mid. Think about flowers, a picture or a crystal, something that you feel you can focus on during labour. Music can help to relax or invigorate, listen to the music for labour during your pregnancy. Learning to relax now will help at the time. Remember, when you hear the music after the birth, you can evoke your own special memories or the labour and the birth of your baby.
