Natural Childbirth

Natural childbirth generally refers to giving birth without medication and complex medical intervention. The cervix will dilate naturally and the vaginal birth occurs in a birthing position which is felt as the most comfortable. Mothers basically utilize relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises, massage, and hypnosis to deal with the pain. It is best that this is done in a hospital in case of emergency. Women’s reasons for preferring such method include having a more meaningful birthing experience and avoiding medication side effects such as slowing down labor, nausea, and lowering blood pressure.
