is anyone making a focus board for labor??? I heard about this idea awhile back, however can't find much information on it. Any suggestions of things I should put on there??
I didn't do a focus board but I did use a picture of a baby I put on my phone. I had DH show it to me during labour when I asked. The baby was dressed in the same outfit our little one would wear home from the hospital. So it helped me focus on our little one when I needed encouragement. I told myself that this point in my baby's life was the most frightening point it had ever dealt with. And it was my job as mummy to relax, stay calm,breathe, and tell us both it was going to be OK and we'd be snuggling each other soon. That picture really helped.
Quotes, reminders like get up and walk, changing positions, breathing techniques, pictures of different labor positions, reminders of thing your husband can do for you but ask first lol,just thing s you have talked about with your person and to help you remember them during the time of labor. I hear everything you read you can't remember during this time.
I had all the women at my blessingway design canvas pennants for an encouragement banner; it will hang in sight of my tub. The designs were everything from drawings or flowers, Suns and hot air balloons to quotes to jokes and so on.
