Not a technique to memorise. One simple practice, learned now, so your body already knows it when the day comes.
You're handed a breathing technique in a class at 36 weeks, or on a handout in the birth suite. Then labour starts, and it's gone.
Breath isn't something you recall under pressure. It's something your body has already rehearsed. That's the whole point of practising it now, while nothing is happening.
This is one practice, done well. If you want the full preparation — the whole body, the whole pregnancy — that's The Complete Practice.
