"The ice is given to pregnant people and their partners to simulate the pain of a contraction. People are supposed to hold the ice cube in their closed hand for 60 seconds, the length of an active labor contraction. While they are holding the ice, the people are to use their coping skills to deal with the pain." Rachel can also lend you the bookhttps://www.sevengatesmedia.com/downloads
