What are good relaxation techniques to use when pregnant?
Massage, yoga and breathing techniques. If you lie flat in a quiet, dimly lit room, you can take deep breaths, holding each for a few seconds and slowly letting them out. This will relax you quite well. I do this before sleeping at night. Massage and yoga can also help you tremendously during labor. Learning to focus on your breathing will help you endure the pain of the contractions. But remember several yoga positions are not suitable for pregnant women. http://yoga.about.com/od/prenatalyoga/ This link will give you some ideas. Good luck!!
