I read through the article more thoroughly now. What is essentially being advocated is pain control. The popular Lamaze birth method has a similar goal and essentially uses a combination of breathing and concentration techniques to control the pain, both physically and psychologically.

Been there, done that, 7 times.

Did I scream? Yes. Lamaze doesn't say you can't but more often I than not I didn't need to or managed not to.

Note I also received at some point or another a pain killer (pethodyne), which I would have prefered to do without but just felt that I needed the fix. :P

You guys are so lucky!

HUG YOUR MOMS!
