In many countries outside the United States, the dominant philosophy toward birth is that childbirth is natural and women need only minimal intervention and support. This approach focuses on empowering women to trust their bodies and birth process, often using non-medical techniques to manage pain and discomfort during labor. This approach is commonly referred to as the "midwifery model of care" and is based on the belief that birth is a normal, physiological process that, in most cases, requires minimal intervention.
