It is commonly assumed that to deliver a baby it will be in a hospital.Or to be more exact, most people assume that when you deliver a baby that medicine is required. In this article we hope to point out some facts that break those assumptions. We are going to offer alternatives that might be better.
Of course these observations are going to be coming from the viewpoint of my experience running a San Diego midwife service. If you are unaware midwives are woman who help assist during the delivery process. Most of the time with no medicine in a homebirth.
So why are women choosing this method of delivery? For the woman that choose this method and understand it, there are several reasons.
First off, the use of no medicine actually helps speed up the labor and delivery process. Most women don’t realize that the use of medicine actually slows down the labor.Women want to use it because they think it stops the pain, but it actually makes the pain last longer. There are many certified midwives in San Diego who can show you proof of that.
Second, when you do use a natural method such as a waterbirth, it actually helps the muscles and the body because it soothes and relaxes during the delivery. This of course helps ease the pain and makes delivery happen much faster. I have seen it helping many women have a waterbirth in San Diego.
Those are a couple of the reasons that women choose a homebirth as the method to deliver.So even without the use of medicine and although there are no doctors, this method has been proven safe.When the delivery is in the home, it helps foster a more private and personal environment.Rather than the hospital where there will be quite a few different people who will be poking and prodding you during labor.So for those few reasons, a lot of women are going the homebirth route. It is safe and dignified and a great natural process.
