Gentle Birth

Gentle birth refers to an approach to childbirth that prioritizes a calm, supportive, and natural environment for both the mother and baby. It emphasizes minimal medical intervention and encourages practices like mobility, water birthing, and the use of relaxation techniques. The focus is on creating a peaceful experience that respects the mother's preferences and the baby's needs. Gentle birth promotes bonding between parents and the newborn immediately after delivery, fostering a positive early experience. This approach is often associated with midwifery and home births, but can also be adapted in hospital settings.
