This is an audio CD of guided visualizations created by Julie Tupler, RN for pregnancy relaxation and pain management during labor. Preparation for labor includes understanding your birthing process and well as learning how to relax. If a woman can relax during labor it will help her surrender to the pain thus making the pain more manageable. Relaxation is a learned skill and must be practiced. If you listen to this CD throughout your pregnancy, when you hear it in labor it will help you to relax.
“It is not easy for me to relax anyway, so learning relaxation for labor was a challenge. Using the guided relaxation on this CD, I actually learned how to calm my anxiety during pregnancy, and it really prepared me for managing the pain of labor.” - Susan Hold, NYC mom
“What really, really really, really helped me in labor was your Coming Contractions CD. Julie, it was hilarious. I had these giant old head phones on throughout my labor playing your cd over and over. I would cue it up so your voice talking about each contraction coincided with my own contractions. It was like you were in the delivery room with me. That cd was a godsend. Thank you for everything.” - Miranda, NYC mom
