101 uses for a scarf...

We recently had some rebozo training at work. A rebozo is a traditional Mexican scarf, very similar to a pashmina. Apparently they can be used during labours to help ease backache, encourage babies to move from a posterior position, help support the woman in different birthing positions and aid pushing. It was quite interesting, and once again Michael was the guinea-pig for me trying out some of the techniques (particularly those which help ease backache). I never realised there was so much that could be done with a cotton scarf – hopefully some of the techniques will be useful for labours.
