- Supportive caregivers: Having healthcare providers who listen to your concerns, respect your wishes, and provide personalized care can help you feel more supported and confident during labor and delivery.
- Minimal interventions: For women with low-risk pregnancies, avoiding unnecessary medical interventions like induction, episiotomy, and continuous fetal monitoring can help reduce the risk of complications and promote a more natural birth experience.
- Positive environment: Creating a calm and soothing atmosphere during labor and delivery, with low lighting, music, and familiar items from home, can help promote relaxation and reduce stress.
