conscious birthing

Conscious birthing is an approach where expectant mothers actively participate in their labor and delivery, emphasizing awareness, informed choices, and comfort. It involves understanding the birthing process, trusting the body's capabilities, and often includes techniques like breathing, visualization, and relaxing methods. This approach aims to reduce fear and intervention, creating a more positive, empowered experience. It typically encourages a supportive environment and collaboration with healthcare providers to ensure safety and respect for the mother's preferences. Ultimately, conscious birthing promotes connection, presence, and mindfulness during the transition into parenthood.
