There is nothing new about active birth delivery; it is something women have naturally done since the beginning of time. The notion of having to lie down on your back during labour is a relatively new principle and simply makes it easier for the birth attendant to manage the procedure.
It has only been for the last 300 years that woman have been disempowered during labour, the invention of the forceps in the 17th century was the beginning of this unnatural act that woman are forced to go through. Child birth is a natural process that most women will instinctively know how to handle.
The anatomy of the women’s pelvis is ideally designed for labour and birth in the upright position. In many cultures woman labour and give birth in standing, kneeling or squatting positions. In active birth the mother is in control of her body, the first resort is the mother’s instinctual and natural resources and the last resort is medical intervention. The mother must be allowed to move around, change positions between contractions and be as comfortable as possible.
By choosing to have an active birth you are giving your baby the best possible start in life. You are also reclaiming your fundamental right as a mother to provide a natural and healthy drug free transition from the womb to the world.
Active birth is an attitude of mind that involves acceptance and trust in the natural function of the birth process. With the appropriate positioning of the body delivery is safer and more efficient. It is not meant to merely be a vaginal extraction, controlled by the attendants. It is a natural physiological unfolding of the birth process.
Unusual complications can arise and should this happen there is modern obstetric care to fall back on, intervention at this point will at least be a choice made not forced and the birthing experience can still be a positive one.
