KAto be honest, i was pretty nervous about having an unmedicated labor after having two previous induced labors that both ended in epidurals.
first of all.. pitocin contractions are WAY more painful than natural contractions (at least for me). i felt like i coped really well until i hit transition, and then i honestly thought “there’s no way i can do this.”
but i DID do it… and so can you. here’s what actually helped me get through my labor ⤵️
• birth comb
this is a MUST. i would freak OUT if i couldn’t find my comb as a contraction was starting. it was my lifeline. using acupressure + distraction. it follows the gate control theory. the pressure from the comb teeth gives your brain a different, strong sensation to focus on instead of the contraction. it triggers natural endorphins and calms anxiety.
• tens machine
this is a 10/10 must-have!! the second i felt a contraction start, i hit the boost/burst button. the tingling sensation blocks pain signals + helps your body release natural painkillers. GAME. CHANGER.
• water
when i hit transition, i got into the birth tub. water has always been my anxiety relief in daily life, and it really helped me relax between the hardest contractions. relaxes muscles, lowers stress hormones, boosts natural endorphins for pain relief, + supports freedom to move into comfortable positions.
• essential oils
peppermint was my go-to. taking a big whiff during a contraction while using my comb + tens was the ultimate trio. smell is connected to emotion, and it can shift your focus + lower anxiety + pain. lavender, rose, clary sage, + eucalyptus are also great.
• affirmations
so underrated. hearing “you’re doing amazing,” “you’re safe,” “i’m proud of you,” literally kept me going. it shifts mindset, reduces fear, lowers anxiety, boost oxytocin, + helps you stay focused.
there are SO many tools to help you cope through contractions so you can rock your birth!! these were just my top 5 that helped me.
comment “birth bag” and i’ll send you what i packed in mine + a printable checklist.
what was YOUR pain-relief lifeline during labor??

BIHow to actually use the labour comb (step by step), plus some tips to get the most out of it! ✨
1. Place the teeth of the comb along the base of your fingers
This is the fleshy crease where your fingers meet your palm.
This area contains clusters of sensory nerve endings and overlaps with acupressure points (basically.. how it works 🥰)
2. Turn the comb so the teeth face inward, toward your palm
It should feel firm but not cutting or sharp - a wooden or silicone comb works best for comfort. You caaaan use a normal comb but I find that the specific labour comb is far better as it’s got a curved top so it’s much more comfortable in your hand.
3. Wrap your fingers around the comb and create a full, even grip
The sensation should feel like deep, steady pressure - it shouldn’t be painful! I’ve heard horror stories of women gripping too hard and drawing blood.. that’s not the goal here!!
4. Squeeze during each surge
As the intensity rises:
✨ breathe in gently
✨ wrap your grip
✨ squeeze on the peak
✨ release as the surge fades
5. Pair it with long exhales or surge breathing
This amplifies the effect!
The comb takes up space at the pain gate.
Your breath turns down the sympathetic arousal (fight-or-flight) 👌🏼
6. Switch hands whenever you need to, or use two if you want!
You can alternate hands each surge, or if you really want.. you can use two!
7. Use it in any labour position
It can be used in any labour position and in the water pool too (the TENS machine can’t so this is a good go-to if you’re planning a water birth). ALSO it’s a fab tool for the hospital car transfer and in triage since it’s small and portable.
8. Let your partner cue the rhythm if needed
If you lose focus or the intensity spikes, your partner can remind you:
✨ “Squeeze… release…”
✨ “Inhale… long exhale…”
✨ “You’re safe, you’re doing it…”
9. Keep it accessible
Put it at the top of your birth bag where it won’t get buried.
Have a spare in the car too for the hospital car transfer. I often hear of women loving it and then leaving it at home by accident! 😭😅

MIHere's comparing $289 Lowave Pod Pro vs $38 Mosuker😆
Search for code BKW-GCY-HVY on Shopee to check out the Mosuker TENS machine.
BTW, I've checked with the Mosuker seller and we can use their TENS machine for period pains, just don't put it on for "too long" 😆

ALPack my hospital bag with me!🤰all getting very real now and getting this all together has really made me reflect on how far I’ve come mindset wise through this pregnancy.
I started out with SO MUCH birth fear. My first pregnancy Q&A that’s in my baby highlight and I write about being 98% sure I wanted an epidural (because of that fear) and now I’m packing a bag full of fairy lights, massage oil and the most fabulous TENS machine from @sam.zieg.birthsweet, being quite excited by the prospect of labour, how primal, intimate and special birth is and having faith in my body to carry me through whatever direction my birth goes.
Would love to hear about your positive birth stories, your experience using any of the items I’ve packed and if there’s anything integral I’ve missed!!
(We do have an overflow bag planned for the car with a towel from home + someone messaged me with the best advice, that @glennsmith87 needs to repack this with any late additions so he knows where everything is 😇)

BRWelcome to baby boy’s nursery 🧸 🍼 🩵
Feels so real now!! 🥹 The photo frames up on the wall were taken on our honeymoon by his daddy, so special 🦒 🦁 🐘
I did a lot of my nursery shopping @fromthememo!! The cot, cot mattress, sheets & protector, change mat, nappy pail, sound machine & night light, rockit pram rocker, tens machine & post-partum nappies are all from there & were very very kindly gifted, thank you so much @fromthememo!! 🫶
So so happy 🥹🤍
P.s. bub’s bassinet is in our main bedroom where he’ll be sleeping with us, but I was just too excited to set up his nursery now to be used for day naps & storing all of his things in the meantime 🥰 & we left a bed in his nursery in case one of us has to get up lots during the nights once he transitions to his nursery for sleeps or if his grandparents stay over & want to do the night shifts hehe 🫶

WHShe also didn't give birth strapped to a beeping machine, with strangers inserting their fingers into her, using metal instruments to cut her & extract her baby.
She also didn't give birth in a fancy homebirth tub with twinkle lights and affirmations hung on the wall.
She didn't have a labor comb, or a TENS machine.
Mary travelled to the depths of her humanity, to bring forth her God to Earth, without ever having been entered by a man.
Her attendants were barn animals, their feces, and their feed.
There may have been rats crawling around on the hard, cold ground where she bore down in transition.
She may have left Bethlehem with the same blood-stained clothing she wore when she birthed.
How did they sever the umbilical cord?
What did they do with the placenta?
How long did it take little Jesus to latch?
Did she feel her breasts engorge and wonder if breastfeeding would always hurt?
She didn't have the luxury of formula, or a baby swing, or a breast pump, or weird gas-relieving baby devices, or a thermometer, or a diaper pale.
Why are we so terrified to birth and mother beyond the modern institutions rooted in systemic dependency, toxic materialism, and mistrust in the very physiology God created and Himself was BORN through?
You don't need to fear what God created you for, sister.
You don't need drugs to "manage" or "cope" with your body's divine destiny.

BRStrengthening Your Blood-Brain Barrier 🧠
As we age, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) —the filter that protects our brain from inflammation and infection—can start to break down. This can lead to brain fog, anxiety, and even long-term neurological issues.
Here’s how to keep your BBB strong and your brain healthy
1️⃣Step 1: Address Chronic Inflammation
• Work with a naturopath/functional medicine doctor
• Rule out hidden triggers: mold, yeast, bacteria, parasites, heavy metals
2️⃣Step 2: Boost the BBB with Therapies
• Red light therapy → 20-30 mins daily (panel or laser) to reduce inflammation & repair the barrier
• Vagus nerve stimulation (TENS machine with ear clips) → program:
Pulse: 30 Hz
Bandwidth: 200 us
Intensity: 1-2 mA
→ Strengthens vagus nerve, improves BBB integrity, reduces brain fog, and even helps with leaky gut
💲Pro Tip : Don’t overspend on fancy “vagal stimulators.” A
$50-100 TENS unit from Amazon works just as well!
Consistent use = better brain health, stronger neuroplasticity,
and less inflammation over time 💪🏽

CAGuess who’s working from the couch today? 🛋
This Goddess. 🙋🏻♀️
Period pain is no joke and this month’s cycle is taking me out of active commission today, even with a big workout this AM 💪🏽
🫶🏼Some months are better than others. I actively read about and have practiced #menstrualcycle strategies like #exercising #seedcycling , taking more of specific supplements like #magnesium and then there’s just those months that your womb needs to exorcise the deep emotions you hold in your pelvic floor #sacralchakrahealing like, the energy of lovers past or of your experience with relationships/friendships that month. Science would say that’s probably inaccurate, (although #mooddisorders are a known cause to #menstrualmatters ) then again, science doesn’t invest any money into women’s health systems, soooo I’m going to go with what my body tells me sometimes. 😉 Take it as you need.
🌈Sometimes, you just gotta shed and it isn’t cute.
Whatever you believe or choose to receive and however you nurture your #wombspacehealing is all beautiful.
🌸This cycle I’ve turned on @myliviaofficial and cycle between applying it to my pelvis and my lower back. According to their FAQs, it works by transmitting micro-pulses to the CNS to keep your nerves “busy”. It helps to activate the body’s natural pain defenses to produce pain-fighting endorphins based on the #gatecontroltheory
🤖 Think, “like a TENS machine”, that you see at every trade show you’ve ever been to, that is usually marketed to men and their muscles or for headache relief.
🌸This technology is especially useful for people with #endometriosis or primary/secondary #dysmenorrhea and their website has some great clinical results you can also reference.
Happy bleeding babez 🥺🤗🩸
❤️✌🏼Love you (and your period) #sohard

YUSeeing my left hand move again after days of weakness was an incredibly emotional and hopeful moment for me. This movement was supported by muscle stimulation therapy using a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) machine, carried out under the supervision of my neurophysiotherapist. In conditions like Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), the muscles themselves are often healthy, but the communication between the brain and the body becomes disrupted. This can lead to symptoms such as limb weakness, altered movement, or even temporary paralysis. TENS therapy works by delivering controlled electrical impulses through surface electrodes placed on the skin. These impulses stimulate nerves and muscles, creating sensory input that helps the brain recognize and respond to movement again.
Under proper professional guidance, TENS therapy can become a valuable part of a rehabilitation program and can even be continued at home. I personally own a TENS machine and use it at home by strictly following the settings, electrode placement, and duration recommended by my neurophysiotherapist. When used correctly, it can help improve muscle activation, increase body awareness, reduce fear around movement, and support the process of retraining the brain body connection. While this therapy is not a cure and results vary for everyone, it can be an empowering and effective tool when combined with physiotherapy, consistency, and patience. Moments like this may look small, but for someone living with FND, they carry immense meaning and hope 💙❤️🩹
