A birth coach has said that having an orgasm while in labour helps make the experience a more positive one.
Jannine Markou is a prenatal coach and yoga teacher who has worked with labouring mums for over a decade. She decided to start working as a birth coach after experiencing trauma while giving birth to her first child.
The mum of two claims that the act of climaxing while giving birth helps women feel less inhibited during the labouring process and ultimately assists with their pain management. She says that her end goal is for clients to feel happy with their labour when it’s over.
