Delivering a baby is feared by many pregnant woman to be unbearable painful, even excruciating. Commonly it’s thought that labor pains start out manageable, and later on most women reach a point where they cannot imagine any more pain.  

In December 2008 ABC News covered the film Orgasmic Birth, which shows that it may be possible to have a pleasurable, even orgasmic, childbirth experience. This is said to be midwives’ best kept secret. In some surveys midwives have revealed that upto 20% of birthing mothers could have an orgasmic childbirth.

The key to pleasurable childbirth is relaxation. Breathing methods, visualization, hypnosis, and acupressure for labor are excellent relaxation methods. 

Maternity acupressure points can be used to deeply relax the birthing mother. Maternity acupressure techniques are also extremely effective in directly relieving the labor pains. There are multiple acupressure points that your support person can massage to bring you relief from labor contraction pains.  Some women will use only one, and some will find that many or all must be stimulated at different points of their labor nd delivery.
