Natural birth: A Unique Experience
Natural birth is more than just a choice. It is a way for a woman to experience labor by following her innate instincts and the natural flow of her body. The process places the woman at the center of childbirth, giving her full autonomy and a warm sense of trust.
In The Birth Center, every woman can experience her childbirth without unnecessary interventions, in full connection with her body and her child, within a safe and supportive environment.
Natural or Vaginal Birth: What’s the Difference?
Natural birth refers to childbirth without unnecessary medical interventions and epidural anesthesia. In vaginal birth, some medical interventions or epidural anesthesia may be used, but the woman still delivers vaginally. At The Birth Center, we offer women the option of natural birth, where the body and mind guide the process, always under the attentive care of our appropriately trained midwives.
