Have a natural childbirth

Traditional vs Modern

We all know that, in the past, women gave birth solely with the help of midwives. These women did not have medications, surgeries or any other advanced methods of child delivery, yet they managed just fine and many of our grandparents were born completely healthy that way. With the development of medicine as an institution, many have forgotten natural process of giving birth and started believing that labor is impossible unless in a medical institution, guided by a doctor. What is more, during hospital labors, a women is given many different medications in order to remove the pain from the process. However, these medication may interfere with the health of the child and the process of giving birth itself.

For these reasons, and plenty more, nowadays, more and more women are opting for traditional way of giving birth, considering the natural method to be the best. There are many benefits to giving birth naturally, especially when you take your baby's health into consideration. Anesthetics, medications and all other supplements of medically assisted labor can prove to bring more harm than help. What is more, often, these do not work the way they are supposed to, and, affected by medication, a woman cannot feel her baby coming out, thereby being incapable of providing contractions. All in all, natural way of giving birth has its benefits and all women should be given a choice, rather than being ordered to follow social norms of modern civilization.
