Breath does indeed class itself as a comfort inducer wehen used correctly. Thank you! Ah yes Gráinne, I can imagine an Irish midwife being no-nonsense when it comes to pain! :-)

I remember it because it didn't hurt! My mum had practised breathing with me beforehand so my memory of the event is of lying across her lap and doing my big deep breaths :-). And that's all. The belief in the power of the breath stayed with me and I use it regularly with patients in work. The nurses are amazed by how effective something so simple can be and I think some of them have been converted. It's also much better for the patient than using sedation. I was probably lucky to be the child of a (retired) midwife! It’s weird, but one of my earliest memories is of getting my “booster shot” vaccinations when I was around 4.
