Definition: Prenatal education process for mother and fathers to be. Offered widely at community hospitals and health offices. Natural childbirth education has evolved over the past generation into a model based on some of the great childbirth education titles (not widely discussed in hospital/medical settings) such as: The Immaculate Deception (II) by Suzanne Arms, or Birthing from Within, or Birth Partners by Penny Simpkin. Natural Childbirth Education recognizes birth as a normal process of life, and seeks to instill the full knowledge of freedom of choice for birthing families. Education is built upon non-fear based models of preparation that empower parents to strengthen their intuition and trust in the birth process.
