Smart Labor Hack For Less Labor Pain (Pack In Your Hospital Bag!)

Use this labor hack to reduce labor pain. Press a comb into your Lao Gong Acupressure Point (middle of your hand between the bones of your index and middle finger). This distracts and redirects pain as well as reduces anxiety. Use during your contractions and remember to relax your jaw muscles and pelvic floor. You can do this during labor movement or when you are trying to rest. What hack did you use to reduce labor pain?

I tried that yesterday during my labor. He was 9lbs9oz and can came within an hour and I threw the comb 🤣 it would have been helpful during my other labors though

[notclaire]

I used this trick with a dollar store comb and it was BY the best coping technique I used throughout my unmedicated birth. I highly highly highly recommend. Anytime I had to let it go for whatever reason, I was practically screaming for it back as soon as possible.

I've used this "hack" during my last labour. The nurses looked at me and were like: this is a first one for us. we've seen stuff but never had anybody bring a comb to the hospital 😅
My daughter was born within less than an hour. Couldn't say if it really helped but it's one of those things that empowers you just because you have a feeling you're actively doing something you feel will help..gives you a bit of control in the situation. Still, this was my third birth so I knew pretty much what to expect.

[milanimorales]

Knowing me I will probably puncture my hand from how hard I'll squeeze but okay lets give it a go😅

[anniethept]

Darn it! I had my hubby in a headlock to relieve pain! I wish i knew this! 🤣

[ladyivy]

was looking for other mamas with lifelong chronic pain and depression how they dealt with labor ( im 33 yrs old unplanned single mom to be having my first child) im willing to try anything at this point. i do have a comb and just stuck one in my bag hes due May 4th 2023 ( i dont know if im going to be forced to have a c-section or not they didn't confirm yet because of the placenta previa) any more tips would be great

[t-marie]

Is this just in one hand or would 2 combs be better?

[lesliesledge]

If you can get ice that’s not crushed from the hospital that works great too

[SleepyMamaBear-]

Is it a thing in pregnancy to have a lot of tension in the jaw? I wake up clenching my jaw almost every morning. Do you know what this means?

[abhiyanarvindsheth]

Just look at her her nails had grown so much longerrr😮

[rjjplgh]

Oh I wish this would‘ve worked for me 😅
