Childbirth is not painless, but there are strategies to manage the pain. At different stages of labour, you may use various strategies to cope with the pain.

In general, you can think of the following:

  • During the latent phase, you may choose to ignore the pain.
  • When the pain increases, you may need to switch to distracting it.
  • When distraction no longer works, it may feel good to accept the pain as a helpful sensation.
  • Towards the end of the opening stage and the pushing stage, you need to be brave enough to face it.
