Educating yourself about childbirth can demystify the process and reduce anxiety, which in turn can help manage pain.

Regular exercise tailored to pregnancy, such as prenatal yoga or Pilates, helps strengthen the muscles used during childbirth.

Techniques such as guided imagery, meditation, or hypnobirthing can prepare your mind to handle labor pain more effectively. 

A well-balanced diet rich in all necessary nutrients supports overall health and can help your body cope better with the demands of labor. 

Having a trusted obstetrician, midwife, or a doula can provide emotional reassurance and practical support during labor.
