Being quiet and keeping a stiff upper lip can be detrimental to the course of your labour. Letting out low-pitched sounds such as "oh" or "ah" during a contraction can relieve muscle tension. Keep your mouth relaxed to provide you with a new focus.

You should be encouraged to express feelings of love, anger, gratitude, fear, anticipation, or sadness as they come up if this seems appropriate to you. This can sometimes get a "stuck" labour moving again.

Very crucial to you as the labouring woman is the loving support and encouragement of your husband, partner, family member or close woman friend. You will find that loving support persons are a much more effective tool for coping with pain than pain-relieving medications.

Support persons can wipe your brow, breathe in rhythm with you, help you relax, suggest a change of position, give you a word or sound to say together, encourage you to express your feelings, and remind you that there is a baby at the end of the labour.

No one, including yourself, should judge your labour like a performance, in terms of good or bad, success or failure.
