A technique to encourage relaxation and displace pain in the Lamaze method is effleurage, which is French for "light abdominal massage." This action is done by tracing a pattern on the abdomen with the fingertips. Effleurage is not breathing into a paper bag to prevent dizziness, holding the breath and pushing with contractions, or massaging the uterine fundus at the peak of each contraction.
