It's time to start the class now that the time has arrived. With pillows and mats, they all gather on the floor together with help from their partners.
Instructor: Hello, I'm your trainer Gisella Jackson. I was in contact with one of you. And your main aspect was learning different techniques for managing pain.
Liv: Yes that's me! We're planning on doing a water birth with no medication.
Gisella: And how can I help you too? (looking at riri and ej)
RiRi: We're here to learn about the signs of birth.

Gisella: Some of the different approaches are psychological therapies, behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques, and meditation, mind-body therapies like acupuncture. Such as physical therapies including heat or cold packs, massage, hydrotherapy, and exercises.
Gisella: Also when the mucus plug that blocks the opening to your uterus or womb from your cervix falls out. With back pains. There is a compulsion to use the restroom brought on by a newborn's head resting on your colon with your waters rupturing.

Liv: Do you know any midwives?
Gisella: Yes I do.
Liv: Could I have the contact? Is she any good?
Gisella: You're speaking to her.
Liv: Oh it's you (laughs)
Gisella: Yes, do you need one?
