The<unk>  Technique is a prepared childbirth technique developed in the 1940s by French obstetrician Dr. Fernand<unk>  as an alternative to the use of medical intervention during labor. Dr.<unk>  was influenced by Soviet childbirth practices, which involved breathing and relaxation techniques under the supervision of a "monitrice" or midwife. The<unk>  method gained popularity in the United States after Marjorie Karmel wrote about her experiences in her 1959 book Thank You, Dr.<unk> .
Modern<unk>  childbirth classes teach expectant mothers breathing techniques and often other ways to work with the labor process to reduce the pain often associated with childbirth, such as hot and cold packs, changing positions, the use of a "birthing ball" to remain in an upright position, and orgasm to induce or hasten labor.
