3 dl epsom salt in a filled bathtub with warm water (note: pregnant women 37-38 degrees). Do not use soap/shower cream or shower off the salt afterwards, it counteracts its effects. Feel free to lie in the bath for about 15-20 minutes. Dim the lights, light some candles & listen to relaxing music/selected playlist for the upcoming birth.
