The Natural Birthing Comb: Your Key to Making Labor Easier
The birth of a new baby is a once-in-a-lifetime event, one that changes your life forever. And as you navigate the intense, all-consuming experience of labour, having some good tricks up your sleeve can make a huge difference. The Birth Comb is a clever, drug-free way to keep on top of those powerful contractions – and it's something you can use right now to start feeling more in control.
The Science Behind the Labor Comb Theory
This Birth Comb is based on some pretty fascinating science. Specifically, the Gate Control Theory of Pain, which basically says that your brain can only process a limited number of sensations at a time. So when you grip this labour comb really tightly during a contraction, the feeling of the teeth pressing against your palm sends out a strong, non-painful signal.
This competing sensation can help distract you from the pain – and before you know it, the intensity of the contractions starts to drop away. It's a pretty empowering way to take back control, especially when you feel like you're at your most vulnerable.
