I Have Found that Guided Meditation Helps with Labor and Delivery

My doctor tried to talk me into Lamaze training when I was pregnant with my first child.  However, I was really big into guided meditation and imagery.  I took the Lamaze classes, then added some meditation techniques to my Lamaze theory.  From there, I managed to get through labor and delivery, all eighteen hours of it, without any sort of pain medication or interventions from the doctor.  I simply guided myself through it with some music and the help of my husband.  I am amazed that I did it, but let me be the proof that it can be done!
