Pain Relief without Drugs

How will I get pain relief without drugs

Massage, music or change of position
Changing your position may help. Try leaning against your partner or a wall, walking and socking your pelvis. You must relieve the pressure off your back. You could ask your partner to massage you or play certain music that you find soothing.

Vocal release
You could diffuse the pain by making sounds, moaning, groaning or screaming as a way of releasing tension.

Visualization or hypnosis
Some women find relief through the technique of visualization, as creating mental pictures is a proven way of calming fears and reducing pain. Hypnosis has also been known to help.

Birthing pools
If your hospital has a birthing pool, lying in warm water can be very relaxing and soothing and brings relief between contractions.

Acupuncture
If acupuncture has helped you before, this is a good time to try it again. But only if you have an experienced acupuncturist on call.

Blocking nerve impulses
Trans-cutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a method available to block the nerve impulses to the brain, with the help of an electric current that stimulates the production of endorphins. Electrodes are placed on both sides of your spine, and you are given a handset to regulate the amount of stimulation and pain relief that you require.
