evidence-based practices in childbirth

Evidence-based practices in childbirth are methods and decisions guided by the best research available to ensure the safety and well-being of both mother and baby. These practices rely on scientific studies to determine what methods lead to the best outcomes, such as effective pain management, safe labor procedures, and healthy postpartum recovery. They help healthcare providers offer care that has been proven to work, minimizing unnecessary interventions and promoting natural processes when appropriate. Overall, evidence-based childbirth aims to combine scientific knowledge with individual needs to support a safe, respectful, and positive birth experience.
