What can I do to help reduce pain during labour?
“When you get to know and are aware of what happens at labour you are likely to feel more relaxed and better placed to cope with pain. That is because it helps you feel more in control and less frightened. Learn how to relax, stay calm and take deep breaths. There are breathing exercises in yoga which can help. Your position can make a difference too – try kneeling, walking around or rocking back and forth.”
My friends tell me that my baby will be light skinned if I drink a lot of coconut water. Is that true?
“It's a myth! It's not true that a light skinned baby results from what you eat or do when you are pregnant. That's an old wives tale. Skin colouring or tone is down to genes. Type of food does not make any difference. Just eat healthy and take your prenatal vitamins. Coconut water helps with hydration!”
