Abstract
This invention is based on the hypothesis that a controlled and directed program of breathing and relaxation can assist the normal bodily functions that are brought into action as the time for child delivery approaches to be more effective in the delivery of the child. These procedures will enable the expectant mother to take full advantage of the powerful bodily functions which are set in motion as the time for child delivery approaches to assist the normal child delivery cycle so that the process of child bearing can be materially easier. A unique breathing program, including several precise breathing patterns and exercises timed in relation with a timepiece having a second hand are provided in the form of a series of transparent overlays for the timepiece. Each overlay has a suggested time related breathing pattern to be successively superimposed on the timepiece to indicate to the expectant mother successive time related breathing patterns to be practiced and used by her prior to, and at the time of delivery to enable her to relax and to assist the normal bodily functions, including the contractions that are brought into action as the time for child delivery approaches to force the child to move in the delivery cycle.
