There’s also just the interruptions of the hospital staff prevent most women from getting into the zone where they can focus and ride the waves of pain. Imagine having sex in a hospital room. Hard to get into the mood? Same thing for a laboring lady; she needs a soothing private place, not stirrups and florescent lights. At around 8, 9 centimeters, though, no amount of preparation can get you through. You need a strong guide - an experienced midwife, labor and delivery nurse, or doula - to carry you through those last few moments of delivery.
