Physiological birth is the body’s innate process for childbirth, and the neurobiological catalyst for deep and abiding attachment and bonding. Normal birth reveals itself in a wide range of normal variations. Physiological birth is not just avoiding intervention– it’s about understanding when interventions are necessary and life-saving. Learning to trust and support the birthing process can lead to better outcomes and reduce unnecessary interventions.
