childbirth interventions

Childbirth interventions are medical procedures or techniques used to assist or manage labor and delivery. Common interventions include induction (stimulating labor), episiotomy (a controlled cut to help deliver the baby), assisted delivery (using tools like forceps or vacuum), and cesarean section (surgical removal of the baby). These interventions aim to ensure the safety of both mother and baby when complications arise, although they should be carefully considered for their risks and benefits. The goal is to support a healthy and safe birth experience, respecting the mother’s preferences while addressing any medical needs.
