"'Relax' can be a tricky word to say to someone in labor. I remember in my first birth my sweet nurse reminding me to relax during the contraction multiple times until I roared in her face “I KNOW” because I did know, but in the moment I wasn't quite sure how to do so. Giving someone specific ways to release tension in their body as they work through a contraction or between them can be really useful. Sometimes touch can be utilized as a reminder on where to drop tension too." — @nursezabe #BankOnCBR . . . . . #newborngift #newborntips #pregnantbelly #wearepregnant #newbornessentials #cordbloodbank #newmom #stemcell #cordtissue #umbilicalcord #stemcells #stemcellresearch #cordbloodbanking #siblings #newborngifts #healthcare #pregnancyannouncement #firstbaby #pregnancylife #healthypregnancy #science #stemcellawareness #parentstobe #babyshopping #babyontheway #pregnancy #cordblood #pregnant
