Some of these books are how-to books — books that will give you guidance on specifically what you can do to help make labor more comfortable. This might be physical comfort techniques like positions to use in labor or breathing techniques, but it could also be more of how to find a supportive team to help you during the birth process. This might include finding a doctor or midwife who is used to attending births for women who choose to go unmedicated or other support you can find, like that of a trained labor support person, like a doula.
