NATURAL BIRTH

NATURAL BIRTH

It is the process of giving birth with few medical interventions; instead, the accent falls on the natural abilities of the body to give birth to a baby. More specifically, it limits very minimal use of pain relief, such as epidurals or medications. Instead, it puts great significance on natural pain management techniques that include breathing, movement, and water immersion. A midwife or doula provides support, hence ensuring continuous emotional and physical support during labor. This approach would provide a peaceful and comfortable environment in which the birthing person may feel empowered and more in control. Natural birth usually occurs at home or in birth centers, but can occur in a hospital if providers allow it.
