Adrienne Lieberman presents a host of techniques that work, including breathing and relaxation excerises.

Nicky Wesson, childbirth teacher and mother of six, shows how the elements that make the most difference in easing labor pain are not technological advances or synthetic drugs but where and with whom you choose to birth.

This book will teach you how to manage pain during labour naturally and achieve an incredible childbirth experience using simple visualisation techniques.
