Rest is crucial during labour and birth – to allow you to conserve your energy, to recharge, to enable you to move as you need to.
Good birth preparation is also about an awareness of how to manage and conserve your energy – this includes positions, using birth balls as well as the bed, using your breathing and pain management options.
Labour can be brief and it can be long, no matter how your labour unfolds, listening to your body is really important.
