How to Make a Hospital Birth a Natural Birth: The Birth and the Labor

Let Everything Happen Naturally

Having a hospital birth doesn't mean that you can't have a natural labor and natural birth. Unless you are an unlikely high risk pregnancy there is no reason that you can't have a natural labor and birth.

Don't Have an Epidermal

Labor is a natural thing. As a female your body designed to give birth. You may have multiple nurses and doctors asking if you want pain receivers, the hospital might even insist that you sign a consent form for an epidermal just so you will have the opportunity to review the risks before you are in the middle of labor. Keep labor natural and refuse the epidermal, don't worry you can do it. Don't be fooled an epidermal can actually retard labor progress forcing unnecessary complications.

Don't Rush Things

A labor augmenter Pitocin may be suggested to you in order to speed up your labor. A natural way that you can start your contractions is to walk around or use nipple stimulation.

Ripen On Your Own

Your baby will put pressure on the cervix on his or her own to ripen it. The expression a ripen cervix means that the cervix has softened and become thin enough that it will be able to begin dilating. Prostaglandin is a common medication that is used to induce childbirth, and to induce an abortion, the packaging of the drug has a warning stating to not give it to pregnant woman.

Let Your Water Break On Its Own

An amniotomy, when a doctor uses an amniohook, a long crochet type hook with a prickled end, to rupture your amniotic sac causing your water to break artificially, is unnecessary. Once again don't rush things just let you water break on its own. You may not even go to the hospital until your water has broke anyway.
