Never been pregnant, but I can totally vouch for the "distract yourself from your pain with other pain" method just generally. Any distraction can work. You just need something, whatever it may be, to pull your mind away from hyperfocusing on the pain.

Just gave birth a few weeks ago without any medication for the second time, and it was my first time using the comb technique. I happen to have that exact comb and it was great! Not magic, haha labor was still painful and intense, but I particularly enjoyed using it towards the beginning. Definitely recommend at least trying!

30 weeks and I’m obsessed with all of your videos. So helpful!❤

I used a birth comb and it was awesome!!!! Such a life saver and I passed on my same comb to two other moms who said it was such a huge help during labor too! Big fan of it. Read about it in one of Penny Simkin’s books

The day i went into active labor it was like 0-60. I remember starting to feel like it was juat braxton hicks because i was 38 weeks. Uncomfortable but manageable and then i hopped in the bath. About 10 mins later, they were 5 mins apart. On the way to the hospital they were 3-4 mins very tense and about a minute long, so by the time one was done another one was on the horizon. I came into the hospital, having been in active labor for about an hour, maybe. I couldn't talk through them, and the nurses were helping me breathe through them when i got there. Freaking angels. I was 7 cm. They definitely admitted me.

I wish I'd known about the comb technique with my second labour (unmedicated). I think I kind of hypnotized myself by focusing on my breathing. Extra tools in the tool box can't hurt though!

I tried the comb trick with my first baby. It did absolutely nothing. But I was on Pitocin and in a constant state of blinding pain (no “in between contractions”).

I used a comb with my 3rd, and did not help at all. Was still screaming my head off bc it just went too fast and I could not control my mind, which is unlike me.

Love you so so much Anna❤ I wanna have kids when I'm older! So thanks for the tips ❤❤ And I'm First

Comb didn't help at all but I was having back labor. And I squeezed it so tight I started bleeding.

I wish i would’ve known this when I had my baby Friday😭. I wanted to do it naturally so bad but couldn’t do it.

GRWM please?

I'm sorry, I know this is irrelevant, but you are so beautiful ❤.

I need a what to actually bring to the hospital bag! Do I need clothes for my baby or do I just need the going home outfit?

Two hand hold together or just one hand enough?

Do you think I could use a stress ball ?

I wish I would've thought of a comb during my labor. I did squeeze the bed railing and my SO's hand to death lol.

See you married. Do you have any kids
