This type of yoga breathing can help with pain relief during birth. Breathing and relaxation go hand in hand. Knowing about good breathing techniques for labor and being able to use them at the right time will help you cope with the discomfort of contractions. The techniques may even reduce the need for medicinal pain relief during labor.
Good breathing techniques for labor decrease anxiety, improve oxygenation, and encourage you to stay ‘present’ and active during labor. Your body releases less of the stress hormone, cortisol, and more of the pain-relieving hormones, endorphins, which has a calming and relaxing effect.
