What is "natural childbirth"?
Natural childbirth refers to giving birth without the use of medications or medical procedures. It focuses on allowing the birth to happen without drugs for pain relief or other medical actions. This approach emphasizes the body's natural ability to handle the process and may involve techniques like breathing exercises, movement, and relaxation to manage pain. The goal is to support the mother and baby through a more hands-on and less medical-focused birth experience.
