There are two main categories of childbirth you could opt for – natural childbirth or surgical procedure. For a long time, natural childbirth has been the obvious choice for many women. As the name suggests, natural childbirth is a natural, minimally invasive delivery method that allows mothers to be aware of everything as well as be in control of what is happening to their bodies throughout labour. Usually conducted without the use of medication, natural childbirth oftentimes brings along with it the discomfort and pain that are often associated with giving birth.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="5/12" el_class="rightside"][vc_column_text]

Apart from heading to the hospital to deliver your child, home births, one of the methods of natural childbirth may be for you if you prefer to deliver baby in the privacy and comfort of your own home. In some cases, mothers feel more in control as they can determine which of the rooms in the home they would rather deliver in, the people who would be there to support her and be assured of the midwife(s)’s complete attention.

The most important consideration for this method of natural birth is the safety of mother and baby. There are generally no problems for home births if both mother and baby are healthy and have no medical risk factors. Mothers must also ensure that the doctor or midwife attending to them is fully qualified and equipped to manage home births. Aside from that, other preparations include obtaining all the necessary supplies and support you would need before and after labour, as well as to organise transfers to the nearest medical centre should any complications arise.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="5/12"][vc_column_text]

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="7/12"][vc_column_text]<strong>Lamaze and The Bradley Method</strong>

These two methods incorporate a course of childbirth classes where you would learn about breathing techniques, pain management as well as coaching your spouse on helping you before and after delivery. Lamaze is focused mainly on increasing the mother’s confidence in delivering her child without the use of painkillers. It is based on a diversion technique, designed to focus the mother’s attention onto breathing and relaxation techniques so that the experience of pain is lessened throughout labour.

The Bradley Method on the other hand, is a holistic and intensive 12 week programme designed to physically, mentally and emotionally prepare the couple for childbirth. It goes a step further than Lamaze by also dealing with the nutritional aspects of pregnancy as well as post-partum management and issues.

Both these methods have shown to result in high rates of natural births that do not require surgical intervention or use of medication such as epidurals.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][:zh][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="7/12"][vc_column_text]<strong>自然分娩</strong>

在分娩时，您可选择两个主要类别的分娩方式：自然分娩或手术分娩。在很长一段时间里，自然分娩一直是很多女性的不二之选。顾名思义，自然分娩是一种自然的微创分娩方式，可让妈妈在整个生产过程中保持意识清醒并掌控自己身体的情况。自然分娩通常不使用药物，但时常会伴随着与分娩有关的不适及疼痛。[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="5/12" el_class="rightside"][vc_column_text]

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="7/12"][vc_column_text]<strong>在家中分娩</strong>

除了前往医院分娩外，如果您更喜欢在家中私人和舒适的环境下分娩，那么您也可以选择另一种自然分娩方式：在家中分娩。在某些情况下，准妈妈们会觉得在家里生产会更加自如，因为她们可以决定在家里的哪个房间分娩、哪些人需在场帮助她，以及能够确定助产士会全心全意为她服务。

这种自然分娩方式最重要的考量因素应是妈妈和宝宝的安全。如果妈妈和宝宝都身体健康而且没有任何医疗风险因素，那么在家中分娩通常没有问题。妈妈还必须确保为她接生的医生或助产士具备足够的资格和能力来帮助她在家中分娩。除此之外，其他准备工作还包括获取所有分娩相关必需品和分娩前后所需的帮助以及制定适当的后备计划，以便在出现并发症时能尽速转移到最近的医疗中心。[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="5/12"][vc_column_text]

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="7/12"][vc_column_text]<strong>拉玛泽分娩法及布拉德利分娩法</strong>

一旦选择这两种方法，您便需要参加一系列的分娩课程，以便从中学习呼吸技巧和疼痛管理，而您的丈夫也需学习如何在您分娩前后为您提供帮助。拉玛泽分娩法侧重于增强妈妈们对于不使用止痛药分娩的信心。这种方法基于一种注意力转移技巧，旨在让妈妈们的注意力集中在呼吸和放松技巧上，从而减轻分娩过程中的疼痛感。

若您选择布拉德利分娩法，您则需要参与一个为期12周的全面强化课程，好让你们夫妻双方在身体、心理和情绪上都为分娩做好准备。相较于拉玛泽分娩法，布拉德利分娩法所涉及的范围更广，还包含孕期的营养和产后的管理及问题。

事实证明，这两种方法都会迎来较高比例的自然分娩，而准妈妈们也不需要进行外科手术或使用硬膜外麻醉等药物。[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][:]
