Active birth

The key in active birth is to move and stay upright during birth to manage labor and promote labor forward.

  • Movement and follow the force of gravity
  • Follow your body's primal instincts
  • Optimize the body's own birth hormones
  • Physiological birth

"ACTIVE BIRTH is not new. It is simply a way of describing how women the world over have always behaved during labour and birth throughout history"

— Janet Balaskas
