| Abstract: | Natural Childbirth occurs when a woman has her baby without the need for outside intervention. It therefore follows that any discomfort or pain she experiences will be below the level at which she would find it intolerable. Many women claim to have had no pain at all. It is often said that Natural Childbirth does not work. This is not true for hundreds of thousands of Western women, notably in North America and West Germany, and millions of Primitive, or Non-Literate women who have had little or no contact with Western Civilisation. Natural Childbirth is the rule rather than the exceptions a 98% success rate has been demonstrated with Western women and with Non-Literate women the figure is probably higher. |
