Natural childbirth is much better for the baby. The baby arrives in an undrugged and therefore much more active and alert state. It is amazing to see videotapes showing the differences between drugged and undrugged babies immediately after birth. Undrugged babies are active and responsive. Drugged babies can barely move.
Natural childbirth is much better for the family.
The baby will naturally find the breast and begin feeding. The baby will make significant eye contact with the mother and father and respond to them. This simply does not happen when mother and child are drugged, and as a result breastfeeding starts off on a much rockier road. Make no mistake about it - you cannot have a natural childbirth in today's society unless you take active steps to make it happen. You and your spouse must decide in your own minds that you want a natural birth.
