Birthing techniques refer to various methods and practices used to assist women during labor and delivery. Common techniques include Lamaze, which focuses on breathing and relaxation, and Bradley Method, emphasizing natural childbirth and partner involvement. Other options include water birth, where labor occurs in a pool, and hypnobirthing, which uses relaxation and visualization to reduce pain. These techniques aim to empower women, reduce anxiety, and enhance the overall birthing experience. Many expectant parents explore these options through prenatal classes or consultations with healthcare providers to determine the best approach for their individual needs and preferences.
