Dr. Lamaze (Ferdinand Lamaze)

Ferdinand Lamaze was a French obstetrician who developed the Lamaze technique, a method to help women have more natural, less painful labors through education, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques. His approach encourages empowering expectant mothers with knowledge about childbirth, promoting confidence and reduced anxiety. The Lamaze method emphasizes the importance of support, controlled breathing, and focusing on the process, enabling women to manage pain without relying solely on medication. It has become a widely used, evidence-based approach to promote a positive and more comfortable childbirth experience.
