High risk, but interested in more natural pain relief techniques

Hi there everyone,

I'm in my third pregnancy trying for my first take home baby.  I have an incompotent cervix and obviously require a high-risk OB to facilitate my pregnancy as I cannot carry a baby to term without some medical interventions.

I'm interested in some of the natural pain relief techniques.  After having a spinal to have my cerclage (cervical stitch) placed, I don't particularly want that for my delivery if I can avoid.  While I'm not completely adverse to IV medications,  I'd like to be able to use some natural techniques to at least minimize their use if I can.

Can you lovely ladies point me in the direction of some good information?  For STMs, what techniques worked best for you?

    Hypnobirthing all the way- the classes & the book and also Ina May's Guide to Childbirth was amazing.  I read it every night for the last 4 months of pregnancy.  My birth was quick and easy and I preach these techniques to anyone who

    I'm sorry to hear of you losses.

    I took a Bradley Method class. I found that laboring in the tub worked really well for me. I also had an image, sheep on a hillside in New Zealand, in my head during transition and kept going back to that imag
