Natural Birth

Natural birth refers to vaginal birth without pain medication, specifically epidural anesthesia that takes away the pain of contractions. You may also opt out of other routine medical procedures, such as intravenous fluids, unless considered medically necessary. 

There are many benefits to natural childbirth. Since there is no interference from painkillers and other medication, labor is often shorter. You stay in control of your body throughout the birth process and work with your baby during labor and birth. Your body’s natural hormones promote bonding and breastfeeding. Natural birth is physiologically healthier for you and your baby, and babies born after an unmedicated labor tend to be more alert and breastfeed more quickly. Recovery can also be faster due to the endorphins (calming and pain-relieving hormones) released during labor.
