The arguments for and against unassisted natural childbirth and medical childbirth continues to rage. The medical profession argues that having a baby in a hospital is less hazardous in case a medical difficulty arises during the birthing process, while those who support free birthing declare that most problems take place because of to medical involvement. So who is right and who is wrong? The answer is neither of them. It should be up to the mom-to-be what method she chooses to bring her baby into this life.

There are individuals who consider that any chemical pain relief or surgical input may harm both mom and baby. Others just want to take control of their own body during the delivery process. Some women are perfectly happy to hand the whole process over to their pediatrician and that's perfectly fine. Everybody must do what they feel is appropriate and not be bullied into a course of action which they may regret in the future.

So what is an unassisted natural childbirth? Could a woman who has for example, an epidural or pain killing drugs, profess to have given birth naturally? Does it actually matter?

The all-important consideration is to bring your baby into the world safely and securely and without experiencing more pain than you can endure. Some women have an easy birth, others have a high threshold for discomfort while still others find the whole process frightening. The main thing is not to feel remorseful if you have settled on having a baby the natural way and you discover you need pain medication during the procedure. The all-important thing is to deliver your child safely while still looking after your own health so that you can care for your baby when you get home.

If you have chosen an unassisted birth, you may possibly choose to consider some childbirth classes to support you cope with labor, especially if you are not planning on using pain relief such as an epidural. Opt for classes operated outside the hospital system as several hospitals do not promote natural childbirth. Classes that teach the Bradley Method or Hypnobirthing are very popular.

If you have a supportive partner, involve them in the birth process. If you are on your own, think about using the services of a Doula who can support you both physically and emotionally throughout the birth .

Birthing centers are ideal for moms who are in good health and positive they won't require medical intervention. These centers encourage unassisted natural childbirth, however it is important not to put your health, or your child's health at risk, because you are driven to give birth naturally. If you have any reservations about your ability to manage, there is no disgrace in having a medical childbirth. It's up to you!
