The Natural Birth Blog

In today’s birth culture, many women find themselves giving birth in hospitals—sometimes but not necessarily by choice, but because it feels like the only accessible or safe option.

For those who long for a natural, undisturbed birth, the hospital environment can present unique challenges. The bright lights, strict protocols, and medicalized approach can feel at odds with the intuitive, primal nature of birth.
