Other options to delivery
It seems commonly assumed that the way to deliver a baby is 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 licensed 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 there a few women going with this alternative method?For the many women that go with this method and understand it, it is because of several reasons.
First thing to consider is when no medicine is used, it usually makes the labor and delivery happen a lot quicker. Most women don’t realize that the use of medicine actually slows down the labor. Women use it to ease the pain but it actually prolongs the pain. There are many certified midwives in San Diego who can show you proof of that.
Second, the use of the natural method and sometimes through waterbirth actually helps soothe and relax the bodies during delivery.This naturally helps reduce the pain and makes the labor and delivery happen much quicker. I have seen it as a homebirth midwife San Diego.
Those are just the beginning of many reasons that women have chosen a homebirth rather than the usual method of delivery. Although it has no use of medicine and usually no doctors it has proven to be a safe method.When you have the delivery in the home, it helps keep the act personal and private. Rather than in a hospital where there are several people who poke and prod through the labor.So with those reasons in mind, many women are going with a homebirth. It is safe and dignified and a great natural process.
