Practicing with an Ice Cube! Use this link to learn more about the ice cube technique from Birthing From Within. "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 book​https://www.sevengatesmedia.com/downloads

Hypnobirthing can be a wonderful tool for birthing persons. Here is link for Kathryn Clark's Hypnobirthing Hub and music for Hypnobirthing from Steven Halpern.
