🌿Birth is a normal function of the female body and therefore not a medical emergency.
🌿Most interventions commonly used by the medical profession during birth cause more harm than good in a normal birth
🌿Mother will be more apt to follow the natural flow of her individual birth in an undisturbed birth setting.
🌿Mother is enabled to find the optimum positions or techniques to birth her child safely.
🌿Birth is an intimate, sexual, and potentially orgasmic experience, and privacy is essential for enabling this erotic dimension.
🌿Unassisted birth gives rise to a significant increase in maternal feelings and the mother's ability to bond with and take responsibility for the welfare of her child.
🌿A woman may find her specific birth presents difficulty in finding a willing practitioner, as is usually the case with a vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC) is she decides to birth unassisted.
