Childbirth and motherhood is a very special time in a woman's life. It is a time like no other which can truly change and shape a person. More women are starting to choose natural childbirth to bring their babies into the world. The reason for this is because natural childbirth is better for mother and baby.
Women who experience natural childbirth report that they have a more fulfilling, and rewarding experience. Natural birth is also better for the baby because the baby is born without drugs. This results in a baby that is much more alert and active. These babies tend to breast feed sooner and with more success. They also tend to make eye contact much sooner with their parents. In our society it can be tempting to choose a medicated birth because it may look easier, but a medicated birth comes with many risks both to mother and baby.
Many women are also opting to birth at home because they have a higher rate of success with achieving the goal of a natural birth. This is because our home is our sanctuary where we feel comfortable and spend most of our time. Women who birth at home are more relaxed and have the freedom to birth how they choose. In a hospital a woman is restricted from birthing a certain way. She lays down in a hospital bed with bright lights and people prodding and pocking at her. Women tend to progress much slower in a hospital and more complications tend to arise. A hospital birth Is the only option for some, but there are things that can be done to make a hospital birth more rewarding as well.
The decision to commit to a natural childbirth is a very personal one. If your goal is have a natural childbirth there are a few things that you can do to prepare.
1). Educate your self by reading everything you can about natural childbirth. Take birthing classes and create a birth plan.
2). Hire a doctor or midwife that is in support of natural childbirth. It can also be quite helpful to hire a doula as well. A doula can help you by being your advocate in the hospital and also help you to control your pain during childbirth with massage and other methods.
