What are the pros and cons of a natural birth?
assistant
Pros: 
 • Natural birth is generally considered to be safer for mother and baby than a C-section.
 • There's no need for medical intervention, so it can feel more empowering to have control over your own body during labor.
 • You're likely to experience less pain and discomfort with natural childbirth.
 • It's also possible to bond with your baby faster after a natural delivery.

Cons:
 • The process may take longer since you'll have to go through contractions before you give birth.
 • You might need to stay in bed or at home for a few days afterward if you've had a vaginal birth.
 • Your recovery time could be longer since you won't have any medical support during labor.
