Ep 120: COVID-19 Resources & A Review of Labor Comfort Measures
In light of all the craziness currently happening with COVID-19, we decided to re-release this episode about comfort measures in labor. Many people will be having their babies with little or no support because of the current hospital restrictions and we hope that these tips will help with managing the intensity of labor, especially if you’re doing it without the support you’d planned on having. Additionally, here are a few helpful resources that we mentioned at the top of the episode:
- COVID-19 resources page on Evidence Based Birth
- The WHO’s page on COVID-19
- The CDC’s page on COVID-19
- The CDC’s page on Pregnancy & Breastfeeding with COVID-19
- ACOG’s Practice Guidelines on COVID-19
- RCOG’s recommendations on COVID-19 during pregnancy
- If you’re interested in working with Ali for digital doula support, email her here.

Karly and Ali get down to the nitty gritty details of coping with the pain of labor and birth. They explain why it’s essential for every birthing person to learn about non-medical coping techniques (even if they plan to use pain medication during their birth) and they review the best tools and techniques for pain management. Here’s an overview of everything that’s covered in this episode:
- The reasons why it is SO important to know a variety of non-medical pain management coping techniques, including times when birth goes too quickly to use medication or when meds don’t work effectively
- What the 5 elements of birth are and why they’re an essential part of pain management in labor
- Why you should consider hiring a doula for your birth (including this great article on the evidence for doulas)
- The reasons it’s SO important to do some sort of childbirth education during pregnancy
- Helpful tools in labor:
- Bucky 40 Blinks – the best eye mask in all the land!
- Birth ball (great for pregnancy, labor, and postpartum!)
- Cooling towels
- Massage tool
- Lacrosse Ball
- Hand held fan
- Essential oils (don’t forget cotton pads to put the oils on!)
