Birth coach teaching women to orgasm during labour says it's more effective than pain relief

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.
