WellSpan York (Pa.) Hospital has created a five-minute dance video for pregnant women in labor, according to a WPMT, Fox 43, a Fox-affiliated TV station.
The video features physicians, nurses and staff members performing a choreographed dance that mothers-to-be can watch and dance along with in their hospital rooms. Often, hospital staff in the rooms also join in.
"It gives you the chance to not focus only on the pain, and when you're on the bed it's easy to easy to focus on that," said Christa Bamburg, a midwife at the hospital.
