family-centered birth

Family-centered birth is an approach to childbirth that prioritizes the involvement of the entire family in the birthing process. It encourages expectant parents and family members to participate actively, thus creating a supportive and nurturing environment. This approach often includes personalized care tailored to the family's needs and preferences, allowing greater emotional support for the birthing person. Facilities may encourage the presence of loved ones during labor, offer comfortable spaces, and support choices regarding pain management and delivery. The goal is to enhance the overall experience, making it a shared, positive, and empowering journey for the family.
