The Many Needs of Laboring Women

Jan. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- Laboring women have many physiologic needs to facilitate the transition from labor to birth. This is all according to Michel Odent, MD, a renown French obstetrician and avid supporter of natural birth. With MomDoc Midwives, they mention that women may not feel like they require these needs, but they include:

Silence
Warmth
Food and drink
Darkness
Control
Mothering figure
Security
Privacy

According to Michel Odent, these are some of the primary needs of women in labor. However, in a hospital birth, most of these needs are absent. The midwives of MomDoc Midwives can help make many of these needs possible. A midwife can help in many to create this optimal environment.
