Natural Childbirth - the way nature intended

Author: pew singh

Every woman dreams of a Natural Childbirth. This is how it always used to be but nowadays it isn't so common to have a natural childbirth. People believe that by not having a C-section they have had a natural birth. But what about all the drugs and pain killers and the birthing environment?

The type of birth experience you receive seems more conditional on time and medical resources than the real issue or your wants. Women should begin to take back control of their births.

Taking into consideration things such as your health, mental state and physical shape will help you in your goal of experiencing a natural childbirth. You need to also make yourself knowledgeable about birthing techniques and in particular techniques that give you the control over your body.

Natural childbirth is achievable if your body and you are in equilibrium, and you have done the preparation.

Also pay attention to what you put into your body. Make sure you eat the proper foods and make sure you cut down the amount of toxins entering your body. And by toxins I don’t just mean things you eat. Check out your surroundings too.

There are plenty of resources available such as books and DVD's about natural childbirth. For such resources and details of techniques visit our website.

Part of your education should deal with the stages of pregnancy and what happens during each phase. In particular what happens to your body. Learn what your body will experience and try and learn how you can adapt your body positions in order to make it easier for your baby.

Your partner is essential and should be involved the whole way through. The success of your natural childbirth depends highly upon your partner and his fundamental interaction.

Most significantly you will need to find a midwife or birthing practitioner who supports your needs and will do everything in their power to ensure your natural childbirth is successful. Form a relationship with this person leading up to the birth, it is very important and it will help during the birth process.

Witnessing the birth of your child changes your life, experiencing a positive natural childbirth heightens it so much more. You can have all this and without drugs or medical interference and in turn be able to tell a wonderful birth story to your friends. Something which you do not hear too often these days, unfortunately.
