Birthing Models

Birthing models are approaches to childbirth that guide how healthcare providers and parents plan and manage labor and delivery. They range from highly medical, with a focus on intervention, to more natural, emphasizing minimal intervention and body-led processes. Some models prioritize medical safety with epidurals and surgeries, while others support natural methods like water births, breathing techniques, or home births. The choice depends on individual health, preferences, and risks. Overall, these models help shape the experience to align with the mother's values and ensure the safest outcome for both mother and baby.
