Natural childbirth

Natural childbirth

Natural childbirth teaches us on how some mothers choose to do natural childbirth. Sometimes natural childbirth happens at home. It really doesn't teach us a lot.

Natural childbirth: is a philosophy of childbirth that is based on the belief that women who are adequately prepared are innately able to give birth without routine medical interventions. Natural childbirth arose in opposition to the techno-medical model of childbirth that has recently gained popularity in industrialized societies, and is a childbirth philosophy that attempts to minimize medical intervention, particularly the use of anesthetic medications and surgical interventions such as episiotomies, forceps and ventouse deliveries and caesarean sections.
