natural births
Deliveries without intervention
Natural births are childbirths that proceed without medical interventions like epidurals, induced labor, or cesarean sections.
The term emphasizes the body's ability to deliver without technological assistance: She's planning a natural birth at a birthing center.
The phrase sometimes carries ideological weight, implying that unmedicated delivery is preferable or more authentic.
