Humanized childbirth is the most natural way to have a baby. It allows the woman to have control over which position she feels most comfortable in order to have the baby, whether she wants to have the baby in the pool or in bed, and all other details of the evolution of her delivery such as the type of anesthesia or the presence of relatives.
During a humanized birth, the obstetrician and his or her team must be available to ensure the safety of the mother and the baby even when the pregnant woman wants little or no medical intervention at birth.
In addition, even if the delivery has to be performed by cesarean section, the pregnant woman can have a humanized delivery as long as the medical team guarantees the comfort and tranquility of the pregnant woman during surgery and the immediate contact between the mother and the baby after birth .
Advantages of humanized childbirth
The main advantage of humanized childbirth is to make the moment of delivery a pleasant, comfortable and quiet experience for the mother and the baby.
So in a humanized birth, the stress level is reduced, with benefits for the mother and the baby, because the woman does not have to lie in bed if she does not want to, and can decide whatever is done in the room, such as listening music, walking, doing gymnastics, and even reducing pain.
In addition, humanized childbirth provides a link between the mother and baby faster, facilitating the initiation of the breastfeeding process and the presence of the father helps in reducing the risk of postpartum depression.
Disadvantages of humanized childbirth
There are no disadvantages to humanized childbirth because in any situation the safety of the mother and the baby is guaranteed, so that the delivery experience is pleasant and not too traumatic for the family and the baby to be born.
In this way, humanized labor is not contraindicated for any type of pregnancy because it is a woman's right to have the most comfortable experience during labor.
Why should you avoid having a humanized birth at home?
Delivery should be done in a hospital environment. At home, even when all conditions for normal delivery are present and favorable during labor, emergency situations may arise where the presence of a physician or specific material is necessary to save the baby's life or even mom.
