Hey welcome to DB, i only started last year and train once a week, i imagine evry part of my body starting from the underneath of my toes and working up my body naming each and every body muscle as i go and after naming each part i say in my head "nice and relaxed"I imagine that someone is giving each part a massage, all the was up my legs then onto my back, neck arms etc. Once i've finished that i move onto the front i.e tips of my toes, legs, stomach, chest ect. When i have finished going through this cycle i usually get my first contraction. After a few warm ups and going thorugh all this is my mind i start to go through again and the i know my contractions are coming later and later.
Also try three negative breath hold first before the warm up, let all the air out of your lungs and place your head underwater, this is hard and adjusts your mind to being underwater very quickly. Contractions will start almost straight away.
Make sure as the other guys explained, you have someone watching you who knows what to do if you blackout! Its so important as it can happen without warning and often does.
Hope this helps and good luck!
Chris
