What is Organized Breathing?

Organized breathing patterns used in childbirth are effective in reducing stress and the perception of pain. When using the concentration required to focus on the breathing during a contraction the attention is directed away from a pain response to a relaxed breathing response. Through daily practice, one can develop a very dependable labor tool.
