This week on First Time Mum's Chat I'm talking about comfort and pain relief in birth with birth and postpartum doula, Janet Purcell.

Janet shares some excellent tips from her wealth of experience and if you are pregnant or in the family planning stages, then I highly recommend listening. You'll hear her share:-

• How devices such as TENS machines, birthing combs and acupressure balls help trigger non-painful stimuli to help distract your brain away from focusing on your uterus.
• How to use the force of gravity to make the whole birthing process easier and more comfortable.
• Suggestions on what your birth environment should look like and why it's so crucial to get this right.
• The importance of choosing the right birth partner to ensure you get that all important 100% unconditional support when you're giving birth.

And so much more...
