Early labour can feel long, especially if you start focusing too soon.
Distract: Find something that keeps your mind busy and your body relaxed. Walk, bake, watch a show, fold baby clothes, anything that helps you stay out of your head and in your body.
Rest: This is the big one. Conserve your energy. Use some of the Body Ready Method® rest positions that support progress while still letting your body relax. Think restorative, not idle.
Nourish: Eat. Drink. Keep your body fuelled for the long game. Think easy carbs, fruit, broth, smoothies, whatever sits well and keeps your energy steady.
It’s about protecting your reserves, not powering through.
I go deeper into all of this in my Body Ready Birth classes: how to do the inner work and use specific movements strategically through every stage of labour.
