Childbirth affirmation cards will provide a visually and emotionally positive element that will shift your brain's attention away from the intensity of contractions. This will help break the cycle of 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿 ⇒ 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 ⇒ 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻. \u003cbr\u003eSome of the pain signals will be blocked, and the brain will thus release a greater quantity of endorphins (which is a kind of natural \"morphine\"), helping to achieve an alpha state of consciousness. \u003cbr\u003eThis state of consciousness is comparable to a kind of trance\/intense relaxation, similar to meditation, while remaining lucid. \u003cbr\u003eThis type of state is profoundly important, both during conception and the birth of the baby! \u003cbr\u003eThe Cartesian part of your brain, the neocortex, must be \"off\". Your reptilian brain, the animal, instinctive part of your brain, must be able to take the \"lead\". \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is why anything that can allow your endorphins to flow freely is your ally! \u003cbr\u003eMoreover, endorphins have several other beneficial effects, including reducing anxiety and the feeling of fatigue, and as a natural analgesic, reducing pain! \u003cbr\u003eI have carefully chosen each of the positive affirmations in this card set, and I have made sure to illustrate each of them with a symbolic illustration, which is a bit like the \"totem\" of each card. \u003cbr\u003eSoft and sturdy, they are large enough for you to read them from a distance during labor. \u003cbr\u003eI have included 8 small wooden clips so you can hang your favorite cards on a string in your birth place. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeing 4\" x 6\", they are in a format that can also be framed! Whether you are giving birth at home, or if you are a midwife and wish to frame them and put them on the wall of the Birth Center\/hospital\/organization where you work! \u003cbr\u003eYou can also use them as a kind of oracle, and pick one a day during your pregnancy, to gradually integrate these affirmations. Coming in an organic cotton bag, you can take them everywhere with you, and read them as often as you wish during your pregnancy ♡\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Doula","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46609212375203,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/7290\/3331\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_b36963fc-0ef4-43f0-9855-4e2e27a5e067.jpg?v=1765397435"},{"product_id":"peigne-dacupression-en-bois-pour-lenfantement","title":"Wooden acupressure comb for childbirth","description":"\u003cp\u003e𝑾𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝒂𝒄𝒖𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒃\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA surprisingly effective tool that you'll be glad to have on hand when the time comes!\u003cbr\u003eThe 𝓛𝓪 𝓓𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓪 comb is used in several hospitals and birthing centers in Quebec, and adopted by thousands of doulas worldwide! ♡ \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 different mantras are now available; \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e♡ I am not afraid of the wave, I am the wave\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e♡ It's not pain, it's power\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e♡ Each wave brings me closer to my baby\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts dimensions allow for a comfortable and intuitive grip, with the comb's teeth landing directly on the PC8 acupressure point in your palm (located in the center of the palm, between the ring and pinky metacarpals), which helps reduce fatigue and anxiety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pain created by the comb's teeth temporarily distracts the brain; the brain will then send a wave of endorphins (much like natural \"morphine\") to \"numb\" the intensity of the contractions while it analyzes the origin and severity of the new pain signal caused by the comb's teeth in your palm.\u003cbr\u003eBy stimulating an acupressure point for a secondary pain, we combine the benefits of the stimulated acupressure point with the benefits of the endorphins released by our brain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool allows you to be entirely autonomous in managing your contractions; you control the timing, duration, and degree of stimulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, with Dad's hands free, he has the freedom to massage you, rock you, apply other pressure points, or even do a \"hip squeeze\" (Ask your doula to show him how! 🫶).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot only is the acupressure comb an incredible tool to have during childbirth, but it's also a fantastic asset during postpartum afterpains!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e♡ Made of wood, making this comb a solid and durable tool, as well as a precious keepsake from your childbirth experience\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e♡ The empowering phrase \"𝑱𝒆 𝒏'𝒂𝒊 𝒑𝒂𝒔 𝒑𝒆𝒖𝒓 𝒅𝒆 𝒍𝒂 𝒗𝒂𝒈𝒖𝒆, 𝒋𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒊𝒔 𝒍𝒂 𝒗𝒂𝒈𝒖𝒆!\" (\"𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒗𝒆, 𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒗𝒆!\") is engraved on each one to encourage you to stay grounded\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e♡ The comb's teeth are less pointed than standard plastic comb teeth, thus avoiding injury to the palm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e♡ Perfect size to be held comfortably in the hand, with the comb's teeth landing exactly in the right place to stimulate the PC8 acupressure point in your palm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e♡ Two different tooth sizes for stimulation of varying intensities\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e𝑻𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒔:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e''I managed my contractions so well with the comb that I stayed home for a very (too!) long time and ended up giving birth on the bathroom floor (I was supposed to give birth in a hospital but never made it, oops!)
