Bottom Line:
With all of the advancements in medical science, it may come as a surprise to you to learn that Mother Nature may very well know best when it comes to supporting a successful delivery for expecting mothers.

So, what do you need to know as an expecting mother or member of an expecting family?
Why it Matters:
In order to keep labor and birth as safe as possible, and to minimize the risk of complications, it is essential to respect the simple, natural, physiologic process of delivery.
