Position changes Especially early on in labor, keep moving.
Laying in bed can slow labor down, and can make you even more uncomfortable. Try different positions throughout your labor, one that might work in early labor, may not, in active labor. Water I also suggest to get in the water if you can. If you can't get in a tub of water, then ask if you can get in the shower, and let the stream of water hit your lower back, especially if you are having back labor. Breathing If you have taken any birthing classes, you will have learned a breathing pattern, to help you cope with your contractions.
