Hey @mommymaddness, this video explains EXACTLY what I was telling you about the other day, about "bracing yourself" for the pain vs. relaxing and just letting the contraction come.  I started to email it to you privately, but then thought other moms might find it interesting too so I might as well just post it and tag you. 

The whole thing is LONG but the first half isn't relevant - start watching at the 11:22 mark!

I love this! So good to know. Thanks @SallySunrise!

You bet! THIS is the kind of stuff they should teach in childbirth class!

good video.  It also reminded me I need to start my search for a Doula for this birth.  (My old Doula raise her prices by over $400!)

Holy cow, that's a big jump!
