Dance Party: Groove through the Contractions!

Who said labor can't be fun and light-hearted at times? Crank up the tunes, dim the lights, and have a dance party! Swaying, swiveling, and getting those hips moving can help relieve pain and keep the positive energy and oxytocin flowing. Plus, it's an awesome bonding experience for you and your partner. Shake it like nobody's watching!
