Birth is a miraculous event granted to all living things. The advancement of medicine and technology affect the course of birth by incorporating certain predictions and markers into the natural course of birth. All mishaps that may occur during the progress and realization of birth are wanted to be eliminated by the pregnant woman and the doctor from the beginning, and the philosophy of 'I will bypass this path and reach the baby directly' is adopted with a guaranteed approach.
However, the birth event is a miracle in itself, The beginning of life, the first step of motherhood, the moment when that magnificent bond is established.
Natural birth is the type of birth with the least amount of intervention possible.
The natural functioning we need during birth goes well, the mother's body and the wonderful harmony in which the baby knows very well what to do is not disrupted. Every small intervention can disrupt this magnificent balance. The mother's body, which functions under the influence of all natural hormones secreted, must be supported physically and emotionally. It is very important to establish an emotional bond when the mother holds the baby to her breast as soon as it is born. What we are talking about here is not not to intervene in any way, it is that it would be more accurate to apply the interventions applied to every mother without any discrimination, specifically for the pregnant woman, and in fact, many of them are actually unnecessary.
Planning a birth without any intervention is not a very logical approach. Interventions that will be implemented when necessary will have positive effects on the health of both the mother and the baby.
For natural birth to occur, a health institution that will provide these conditions, an experienced team and a pregnant woman who is prepared for this are required. It is essential for families who prefer natural birth to have done sufficient research on this issue and to be at a level of awareness.
Education of the Pregnant With the help of Pregnant Women's Education, the society that has negative thoughts about birth should primarily switch to positive thoughts. Breathing exercises, physical preparations, relaxation and visualization methods, and non-drug methods of coping with pain are essential in birth-related training.
Trust is the emotional state that must be formed at the most basic level for natural birth.
The pregnant woman will trust her body, the family will trust the doctor, the doctor will trust the family.
Privacyis an indispensable condition for birth. Just like every living thing in nature, human beings plan to give birth in a safe and comfortable environment. Strangers, unloved relatives, and a large number of staff may negatively affect the birth. It should be whatever environment the mother dreams of. A mother who has freedom of movement finds more comfortable positions with her own instinct. Small movements in the pelvis make it easier for the baby to descend by taking advantage of gravity while standing. Since there is no horizontal position, blood flow to the baby increases. If we trust the mother and the baby and let them flow, they will definitely get into the right position.
Forgetting the Concept of Time: 'Everything has its time' could only be a saying for natural birth. Every baby is born whenever he wants to be born. The mechanism that initiates labor has not yet been solved in medicine. After 40 weeks, you should not worry and wait for the 42nd week with peace of mind. It is unpredictable how long labor will last. Natural birth cannot occur with a group of relatives questioning when the birth will occur.
In natural birth, a waiting period with the help of continuous machines and emotional and physical support instead of medications to accelerate the birth, followed by the release of hormones that accelerate and facilitate the birth, is essential.
