One Family Birth Center Promotes Natural Childbirth

There are many reasons why women should be made aware of their choices when it comes to pregnancy and childbirth, and One Family Birth Center offers information about why a natural childbirth is better for both mother and infant.

Anchorage, AK (prHWY.com) February 8, 2013 - The staff and owners of One Family Birth Center are dedicating to providing women with the information they need to make informed and educated decisions regarding their bodies and their pregnancies. Many women do not realize the risks associated with taking pain-reducing drugs and evasive procedures during childbirth, so One Family Birth Center is pleased to outline the ways in which a natural birth is the healthiest option for low risk pregnancies.

Natural births are faster. It's a proven fact that drugs that are given to reduce pain during childbirth can actually lengthen the delivery process. Furthermore, these drugs (including the epidural) can decrease the woman's urgency to push, which in turn prolongs the delivery process. One Family Birth Center adamantly believes that a natural birth is much more efficient than a drug-induced birth.

Natural birth is more comfortable. At One Family Birth Center, a mother is never hooked up to numerous machines, nor is she poked and prodded with needles throughout her delivery. Women who give birth at One Family Birth Center are not affected by an IV unless they want to be. They are free to get up and move around the room and try different birth positions for delivery. Women have the freedom to progress through the delivery at a pace that is comfortable to them - this is the way One Family Birth Center believes childbirth was meant to be experienced. A woman's body is capable of doing amazing things when it is given the chance to do so, and that is exactly what occurs during natural childbirth.

Natural birth is better for bonding. After a natural birth at One Family Birth Center, women and their newborns are never required to be separated from one another. This enables the initial bonding experience to occur immediately after birth, without any separation or hesitation.

Natural birth is less evasive. Unfortunately, over 30% of births that occur in hospitals end with a C-section. Although there are a number of reasons that this can occur, some of them are completely unnecessary. Over the years, women have expressed their frustrations after being lead into C-sections in order to "speed up the birthing process," free beds, or meet shift changes in the maternity wards. At One Family Birth Center, women do not get hooked up to an IV unless it's necessary, or, of course, she prefers to have one. Beyond the evasiveness of a C-section, oftentimes pain-killing drugs are given, which can affect the mother and baby in a negative way. Also, forceps and other tools can be used during births that aren't natural. Such tools have been associated with physical damage to the mother and baby.
