SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT BIRTH IS NATURAL, NORMAL AND HEALTHY. ? A doula at the delivery has been proven to shorten labor,improve mother's satisfaction and reduce the need for painmedications. ? Don't allow anyone at the delivery who doesn't have faiththat you can labor without medication. Kick out or do notinvite any "Nervous Nellies." ? Do your research by talking to childbirth educators, surfingthe web and reading books on childbirth. You have to know whyand what you want to make this a reality. CHOOSE A PHYSICIAN WHO IS SUPPORTIVE OF YOUR BIRTH WISHES. ? If you will be laboring in a hospital, your doctor can make orbreak your experience to have natural childbirth. ? Choose someone wisely who will allow you to have your birthexperience, not theirs. ? Plan ahead: Labor is too late to start talking about what youwant. ? If you belong to a group of doctors and will not have youroriginal doctor at delivery, you may need to be more aggressivewith your desires. ? Be sure to have a doula, especially if you don't know who is oncall for your delivery. A doula's continuous service can helpachieve your goals during birth. ATTEND A CHILDBIRTH CLASS THAT IS SUPPORTIVE OF NATURAL BIRTH. ? Not all childbirth classes are the same.

Some instructors don't emphasize relaxation and/or techniquesto support natural childbirth. ? There are some great childbirth educators and methods (Lamaze,Bradley, Birthing From Within, Hypbirth and others) who promotenatural birth. Call around and search the Internet for oneright for you.
