Im very intrigued on this subject now. My son is 15 months and daughter is 8 weeks (so very fresh in my memory) I cant imagine controlling that overwhelming feeling of pure pain. With my second child i was alot more relaxed and it was equally painful. I personally cant imagine training myself to channel the pain in a positive manner and remain calm although im now going to have a look at hypnobirthing as i can imagine it being very interesting.
