Obstetricians are trained toSee pregnancy and childbirth as a medical condition requiring treatment and intervention, while obstetricians tend to regard as natural phenomena, healthy and normal. This philosophical distinction is important and relates to pregnancy, childbirth and childbirth are data and what kind of results you have.

The studies confirm, for example, that many of the routine obstetric interventions during pregnancy and childbirth does not improve birth outcomes and undermine a womanpossibility of giving birth naturally. And a single action, such as induction of labor can be set in place a whole cascade of interventions, often culminating in a caesarean section, half of which are medically unncessarily. Caesarean sections have increased in recent years - 32% in 2005. This means that the odds are nearly one out of three! Many refer to this as an "epidemic".

Obviously there are situations in which the technology and life-saving interventions. But how does a health care providerpregnancy and childbirth view - not to mention women - can dramatically impact the type of experience you have.

Think about what kind of doctor you want.

Obstetricians have surgical specialists and their expertise is clearly needed in high-risk situations. While most women in the U.S. today receive obstetric care, this knowledge is not usually necessary to manage normal pregnancies and healthy. In fact, outside of the United States and Canadaexplains, Marsden Wagner, a neonatologist, epidemiologist perinatal, and former director of the Maternal and Child Health of the World Health Organization European Regional Office, the majority of women receiving obstetric care not, but obstetric care.

Midwives are qualified health professionals trained to help healthy women with normal pregnancies and births. Some are CNMS (certified nurse midwives are registered nurses with additional training in obstetrics), and otherare independent midwives with different credentials. Some are CPM (Certified Professional Midwives) and some are CM (certified midwives), but the two monitoring programs for national certification. And all are trained to act in emergency situations and identify problems that require consultation or treatment of a doctor.

A third alternative is a family doctor. Although the number of family physicians in deliveries in recent years, about 25 percent to provide obstetric carehealthy women with low risk pregnancies. Their approaches vary considerably, and their dependence on medical intervention and technology.

Regardless of the type of provider you choose, it is important to find the setting and the doctor whom you trust and feel comfortable. Explore all the options, there is the information, then listen to what your heart tells you.

Explore different scenarios of birth.

The vast majority of births in the United States take place in hospitals.If this is your choice, knowing in advance what options are available and can be with you during labor and childbirth.

Hospitals, however, are not the answer for everyone. Birth centers and home births to women with normal pregnancies offers the possibility of the birth experience more personal, intimate and personal. Many people avoid for fear that home births are not as safe as birth in a hospital. Numerous studies and medical journals, however, concluded that for women at low risk, planned home births areassociated with fewer interventions, reduce costs and insurance, if not better results than those of births attended by physicians, hospital.

Take a course in preparation for childbirth.

Some classes are designed only to prepare for what to expect in hospital, while others indicate the power of being active participants throughout pregnancy and childbirth.The training of instructors may be different. Qualified people with organizations such as Lamaze, Bradley, and inside delivery Birthworks, understand the difference between a normal delivery and birth unmedicated. Hotelling's recommended to talk to several coaches before making a decision.
