There are several ways to deliver a baby, but the most common methods are normal vaginal delivery and caesarean section. However, even normal vaginal deliveries these days cannot be considered entirely natural, as we tend to intervene with non-medical inductions. Emergency c-sections are far more life-saving when compared to elective ones, which are performed for non-medical reasons. To understand this concept better, imagine plucking an unripe fruit from a tree instead of patiently waiting for it to ripen and fall on its own. The same concept applies to childbirth. It’s essential to consider how we deliver our babies and to aim for a more natural approach.
Having a planned c-section or non-medical reasons for induction can be compared to waking up with a splash of ice water on your face in the middle of a peaceful, deep, and sound sleep. If it doesn’t feel good to you, it probably doesn’t feel good for the baby either.
The takeaway point is to wait for labor to begin on its own. Doing so triples or multiplies your chances of having a natural birth. Always remember that the way you are born will have a great impact on you and your baby for a lifetime.
In conclusion, opting for a more natural approach to childbirth can have a positive impact on both mother and baby. Letting labor begin on its own is an essential step towards a natural birth, and it’s crucial to make informed decisions regarding the birth of your child. With the right approach, you can create a positive and memorable birth experience that will stay with you for a lifetime.
