Most Wanted - A Natural Childbirth

Just why is natural childbirth preferred by women? This type of childbirth is done without the aid of medication or surgery. Though it may be regarded by many as a radical concept, yet it comes with many pluses.

Advantages Of Natural Childbirth:
During a natural childbirth, the mother is not given any drugs to dull the pain. Since she is completely aware of the birthing process, she has a more fulfilling and beautiful experience.

She is more in control of her body.

Any drug that the mother takes reaches the baby as well. A natural birth is healthiest for the baby as he arrives in a non-drugged state.

There is instant bonding between the mother and the baby as both are conscious and breast feeding can start immediately.

Natural childbirth is better psychologically for the family as well. They do not have to wait for the mother to regain alertness and can join the mother and baby soon after birth.

Steps To Natural Childbirth
First you and your partner have to decide if that is your final option.

Then you will have to finalize upon a doctor who advocates and follows this type of delivery.

You will have to undergo training which will:
1. Tell you what to expect.
2. Tell you how to manage the birthing pains.
3. Guide you through various stages of your labor.

A childbirth plan will have to be prepared. This would contain your chosen options about position, medication, fetal monitoring etc.

Various Ways To Have A Natural Birth
At home- unassisted.

At home- with a midwife's help.

At the hospital- planned with the doctor beforehand.

At the hospital- with a midwife.

At a birthing center.

Some women have multiple birth pregnancies. They should be careful before deciding on a natural birth as their pregnancies are risky and complicated. So talking it out with the doctor is a wise option.

New age or radical birthing options include water birth and hypnosis childbirth. The water birth option is when the woman gives birth to the baby while she is seated in a warm water tub. The hypnosis childbirth method is when the woman is hypnotized into a state of complete mind control while giving birth. She is supposed to feel very less pain during this method. However, any of these options also have to be well thought over and discussed with your doctor before being finalized.

Remember, for centuries, women have been delivering babies through the natural childbirth method, so no harm in checking this option out.

Childbirth is not simply the process of giving birth to a baby but it's also the rebirth of the mother. Of the many types of childbirth methods and procedures the natural childbirth is the most preferred method by women as well as doctors as it is considered the least risky method. Doctors try several methods for natural birth and water birth is one of them. Some females also try hypnosis for childbirth to allay the fears and anxiety related to labor and delivery. Pregnancy is a free pregnancy website providing valuable information on all issues related to pregnancy and childbirth.

  1. This was obviously written by a man. Men do not have the faintest idea of how excruciatingly painful natural childbirth is and what a terrifying ordeal it can be. There is nothing 'beautiful' about spending hours/days in agony, suffering, fear and exhaustion. I love my son, but I went through 72 hours of natural childbirth and it was the worst experience of my life. It is not a man's place to interfere with childbirth. The nearest men will ever come to knowing what childbirth feels like is when they suffer from kidney stones. I've seen men screaming and crying their eyes out after only a couple of hours of abdominal pain from a kidney stone the size of a pebble. Now imagine if that 'pebble' weighed some where between 7-10 pounds and imagine being like that for three days.

  2. Most natural birth advocates are women though. I am sorry to read about your traumatic birth. I find the article respectful about it being an option to women. Unlike your experience, my natural birth consisted of 32 hours of bliss and joy and hardly any pain. I would never say my birth is the golden standard for all births, but neither is yours. Preparation and being well informed are key factors for a good outcome though. Besides, if you plan a natural birth and it doesn't work out for you despite a good preparation, you can still decide for drugs and a medical delivery with interventions aling the way...

  3. I had a pain relief induced 1st childbirth and was the worst experience of my life (hurt like hell and I was vomiting violently throughout) and no pain relief 2nd, forceps on both, my 2nd child had the cord tied tightly around her neck and was a very difficult birth for both me and the midwife, my child could have died if I had not been totally aware of everything the midwife was telling me to do ad had been totally mentally acute enough to do as I was told. Not to frighten anyone but the 2nd birth is supposed to be easier.
