By Amy Smith


If you are pregnant and due to give birth in the near future, you may be feeling worried about all of the changes that your life is undergoing. You may worry about how to maintain control over the childbirth process while not endangering the health of your unborn child. Whether it is choosing a doula NYC to give you support during the birthing process or opting to give birth in the comfort and security of a birthing suite, here are some options that you may want to consider.

In the past women would labor and deliver in hospitals in sterile, medical rooms. She often had little to no choice over which medical interventions she would be exposed to and may not have even been allowed to have her partner or her family around her.

One thing you may want to do is to take a prenatal class before you give birth. If you are delivering in New York, NY there are many different types of classes which you can take. You may want to take one that will show you how to manage contractions and deliver without drugs. They may also help you draw up a birth plan that can help you express your wishes to your medical practitioner.

Support staff can be medical in nature such as nurses, obstetricians and midwives. They can also be non-medical such as doulas. These are individuals who have received training in how to emotionally and physically support a woman as she labors and delivers the baby. They can be very calm and reassuring at a time when a woman may be feeling a massive amount of stress and uncertainty.

Doulas can be fantastic at helping support a woman through delivery. It can be a stressful time for many women who may be under pressure from medical professionals to change her mind about aspects of her birth plan. They may pressure a woman to take medication when she does not want to, or even pressure her to have a c-section when she would otherwise not want to have one. A good doula will help you determine which decisions are medically sound and which are not.

The place you give birth is also an important part of your birth experience. If you know that you are having a simple and medically uncomplicated pregnancy you might want to consider delivering at home. For some women however, this is a frightening idea. They may be more interested in a birthing suite at a hospital so that they can still give birth in an intimate setting while taking advantage of medical interventions if they are needed.

Research is critical to helping you determine what you want a birth experience to look like. Then once you know which aspects are most important to you, you can start to incorporate them into your birth plan. You can also make sure that you arrange services from professionals early enough that you have your choice of who you will use.

By doing research early in your pregnancy you will be able to start making decisions about how you want your labor and delivery to go. Just remember to try and relax as much as possible and enjoy the experience you are about to undergo.
