This extensive collection of coping techniques for labor is drawn from decades of doula experience, emphasizing how these tools can benefit everyone regardless of their birth plan—even those planning on epidurals.
• Preparation and knowledge dramatically increase confidence and can shift birth preferences
• Physical techniques include belly dancing, position changes, walking, marching, and hands-and-knees positioning
• Simple comfort measures like lip balm, cold washcloths, and quick energy sources (popsicles, honey sticks) provide surprising relief
• Touch-based approaches include counter-pressure, massage, tennis balls for back pressure, and acupressure
• Mental techniques involve visualization, focused breathing, meditation, and positive affirmations
• Environmental changes like switching rooms, using music, or adjusting temperature create fresh perspectives
• Support from birth partners through encouragement, praise, and reminders of progress is invaluable
• Taking one contraction at a time and trusting your body and birth team helps manage the experience
Please reach out to another human today, maybe find a stranger, somebody you don't know, and make a connection with someone else—it'll make their day and yours as well.

folks for labor and birth withexpertise coming from 20 years

people prepare for labor,providing essential knowledge
(00:34):
and tools for positive andempowering birth experiences.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Hello and welcome to the Ordinary Doula Podcast.
My name is Angie Rozier, I'myour host and I'm happy to be
with you today.
I love helping people preparefor labor and birth.
Some of my favorite times havebeen as people are preparing.
We spend a good you know fouror five hours with our clients
before labor ever begins, and Ilove like watching the lights go
(01:09):
on when we're educating peopleand preparing them and they're
like, oh really, and they change, like they change their
approach, they change what theywant, mostly because they gain
knowledge and confidence insomething.
That's a powerful tool.
I just had a post, a prenatalvisit with a client Gosh last
(01:30):
week and she, you know, wantedto be induced as early as
possible.
She wanted an epidural as earlyas possible and and and really
we're pretty objective in how weteach things, we don't want to
take people's goals away fromthem but by the end of our
prenatal preparation she's like,oh, I can see why I might want
(01:54):
to delay an epidural or I mightwant to.
You know, maybe induction isn'tthe best thing as soon as I
possibly can, but it was kind ofcool to see her shift that way.
So in this in this episode Iwant to cover some coping
techniques, like tons of them.
I got this.
I have a friend who just taughtchildbirth education for a long
(02:17):
, long, long, long, long, longtime, like decades, decades, and
we were going over some of herold materials and she had now
this is back in, like you know,old school days of posters and
things like that.
I mean, a lot of childbirtheducators still use posters, but
this came from quite a whileago.
So we went through some thingsthat she had.
(02:38):
She had this particular posterthat she actually made and it
was made of I don't know a bunchof just poster board that they
had glued together Maybe therewas like 10 of them and they
just wrote and wrote and wroteon these.
As they unfolded them, you gotto see more and more and more
(02:59):
coping techniques and comforttechniques.
So I'm going to just kind of gothrough that and you can see,
hopefully, that there are somany different coping techniques
that you can be prepared withthat you can lean on, that, you
could try that, you could usethat you might love during the
labor process.
This is a lot, not just forpeople who want to go
(03:20):
unmedicated and avoid anepidural, but this could be for
anyone and everyone.
There's going to be probablysome time of discomfort
throughout any labor, throughoutan induction, throughout labors
, where we're planning on andbanking on using an epidural.
But there are tools you can useup to that point or in place of
that.
Some people will go throughlabor like I was planning on
(03:42):
getting an epidural.
But you know what I'm doing.
Okay, I'm leaning on my copingtechniques.
I'm doing fine.
I'm just going to go throughand finish up and have a baby
without an epidural.
If that's what they want, right, if that's what they desire.
So, just kind of going to gothrough this, posters upon
posters upon posters, thisunfolding endless poster, which
is pretty cool.
One of the things, just andthese are in no particular order
(04:04):
, right, no particular order atBelly dance, when you belly
dance, you don't have to be goodat it, right, you have to be an
expert belly dancer, but themovement of the belly, the trunk
, during labor with bellydancing is phenomenal to help
that baby move through thepelvis.
Another one change positionSuper simple, super powerful Lip
(04:26):
balm.
Put on some lip balm.
At some point, give a hug, gofor a walk.
Some point, give a hug, go fora walk.
This one talks about getting inthe tub, pace, breathing.
So a lot of these things can bedone with the support or help
of someone else, but they don'thave to be.
If somebody someone you knowfor someone to hug you, someone
(04:50):
to offer you some lip balm, justgo for a walk.
Somebody paces their breathingwith you.
Um, marching, marching in place, high knee marching, is great
movement.
Using music, switching up themusic, using relaxing music,
using some fun, upbeat music,having something to eat this
talked about, um, applesauce,like having a little bit of
(05:14):
applesauce.
Just just do a squat.
Where you are standing, doing asquat, a rolling pin or
something similar to it, a paintroller does the same thing.
A rolling pin.
Roll that down the back, downthe legs, down the thighs.
That's a great touch point aswell.
Get on hands and knees as youchange position.
Try just being on hands andknees for a few contractions.
Counter pressure.
That that's having a partner,support person, a doula,
(05:37):
somebody helping with tools.
Just do counter pressure onyour back or knee.
Press A cold washcloth.
That changes your worldactually, just using a cold
washcloth.
It can be tap water, cold, itcan be ice, cold water.
Put that on the neck, put thaton the forehead, maybe somebody
holds it in their hand.
That's a temperature shift andchange that can be a great
distraction.
(05:59):
Acupressure so doing someacupressure find some points
there's some on the hands, someon the feet, some on the
shoulders where you can do someacupressure to also help things
feel a little bit better, alittle easier.
Using a fan whether that's aplug-in fan, whether it's a fan
that you wave with your hand,that can be very helpful.
Lying on a side for a littlewhile Change your environment,
(06:21):
get a new environment.
Walk out of one room intoanother, go outside for a little
while, go into the bathroom,come out of the bathroom, like,
just change your venue a littlebit.
Having a popsicle somethingcool and refreshing, is going to
add some energy.
Having a honey stick or somejuice lots of different ways to
get some quick energy.
Having a snack using a tennisball rubbing that tennis ball
(06:42):
along your back.
Or a racquetball, even like apickleball, is going to be
helpful to just rub along yourback.
Having a good cry that's okaytoo.
Sometimes you just want to havea good cry.
Vocalizing, making sounds,making noises I have had people
who like to sing during labor.
I've had some people who are,you know, professionally trained
(07:02):
singers, or they just lovemusic, or they just vocalize by
that low, deep, guttural grunt,or they just want to talk.
They talk things out.
Another one is have a suckerlike quick energy there.
Have a massage.
Have an oil, rub the scent ofthe oil, if there's a scented
oil.
Having a massage wherever ifthat's on your shoulders, your
(07:24):
back, your arms, your hands,your feet, massage can be really
great.
Visualization visualizesomething comfortable, familiar
and inspiring, encouraging.
Maybe you visualize the babymoving through the pelvis.
But use visualization can bereally powerful.
I was at a birth several yearsago.
This couple just had anotherbaby a couple weeks ago, but I
(07:47):
remember one of their firstbabies.
The dad took all of us in thatroom on a journey to Mexico.
He absolutely had us allvisualizing being in Mexico,
walking down the street.
It's a place they had beenbefore as a family and during
some tough parts of labor hetalked her through, talked and
walked her through Mexico.
It's pretty powerful.
Have a touch in point with yourGod or your creator, with the.
(08:11):
You know.
Any kind of prayer that youfeel that might be important to
you can be helpful.
Stroking the arms, stroking theback, using the bathroom,
urinate often keep the bladderempty.
Focused concentration thatcould be with a focal point
you're looking at with your eyes.
That could be thinking about acertain thing, but focused
concentration could be helpful.
(08:32):
Focusing through one contraction, focusing on the time of the
contraction might maybe that's60 seconds, but have some focus.
Concentration on something.
Firm foothold give a firmfoothold can be helpful for
people.
Or sometimes, if you'restanding noticing your feet
being firmly held on the ground,ignore the clock.
Maybe you know we just talkedabout focus on time, maybe
(08:53):
absolute no focus on time.
Cover up a clock if there's onein the room.
Put your phones down and away.
Don't don't look at the clock,don't let time bother you.
Sometimes I'm always surprised.
I'm not, I'm not anymore, butduring labor, very often people
will see the time, notice itlike oh my gosh, the time is
going by so fast.
Is it already, you know, nineo'clock or whatever, rocking,
(09:15):
rocking back and forth.
Maybe you're sitting on a ballrocking.
Maybe you're being held insomeone's arms rocking.
Maybe you're standing swayingback and forth, spiral breathing
.
So spiral breathing that's avisualization as well.
Some guided breathing, whereyou're going to breathe
circularly, have somebody walkand talk you through this as you
breathe down.
Inhale up, breathe down.
(09:37):
Very, very simple.
There's on.
Just go online.
You're going to find so manybreathing exercises Heat, a heat
pack, a hot pad, um on the back, something maybe you're holding
on your chest.
If you're feeling cold, feelinghot, giving praise Find sincere
encouragement to offer.
Give praise to people, tellthem their progress, like wow,
(09:59):
you have been doing this so well, you've been laboring for X
amount of hours.
Or wow, you're already X amountof centimeters.
But praise and encouragementand progress is going to be
helpful as well.
You can also use patience.
That's a tough one, but just bepatient, especially during
those early parts of labor whenwe are just hanging out for what
(10:21):
feels like an incredibly longamount of time.
Be patient and distractyourself during that.
If I have something to dowhether you're going to go for a
walk, watch catch-ups on someshows, connect with some friends
, play a game, make some muffinsjust find ways to be patient
and distract yourself.
Look at this as one contractionat a time.
(10:42):
Don't look at the big picture.
Just take one contraction at atime.
Do some meditation.
Maybe this is a practice younormally do in your life, but
just some intentional thoughttowards whatever is going to be
helpful for you.
It's going to can be very good.
Doing some chanting.
Some people have a littlemantra that they will say over
and over again.
Positive affirmations thatsomeone is saying or reading to
(11:06):
you can be very helpful.
Perhaps these are made up inthe moment, perhaps they're
discussed and prepared ahead oftime, reminding them that you
love them, that you're impressedwith them.
Right, hydrotherapy this couldbe a shower, a tub.
I have had people just puttheir hands in a little bucket
of water before.
Cold water, warm water, openingup Maybe we're opening up like
(11:29):
a flower, so that could be inour guided affirmations.
Warm socks Put on some warmsocks.
Having another support personMaybe you need a change, not a
change of venue, but a change ofcrew, you know.
So give a break to someonewho's been helping you and just
change the support person.
You might get new things yougain from another support person
(11:50):
or a second additional supportperson.
Kneel down for a while, restfor a while.
This could be, you know, take anap, take a little rest, even
if it's brief, in betweencontractions.
And then another one is trust.
Just tap in to yourself andtrust this process, trust your
body, trust yourself, trust theteam that you have put together.
(12:11):
So that is just kind of a runthrough of this awesome,
unfoldable poster that can showus so many things that we can do
during the labor process tocope.
These are just an endless listof great tools.
There's a lot of toolsavailable too.
So hopefully you go into yourlabor having something prepared,
(12:32):
something to do, something tosay some you know some tools,
some tangible, concrete toolsthat you're going to be able to
use which makes labor go moresmoothly, to use, which makes
labor go more smoothly, morecomfortably, helps the time to
pass and you can labor in amanner that is feeling
successful to you and yourpartner as well, and those who
are supporting you.
Hopefully this helps.
I am excited for you and whatyou have coming up with, your
(13:00):
upcoming labor and birthsituation.
Please prepare for a positiveexperience.
That's important to set yourmindset on a positive experience
so that you can obtain that.

I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
