Why Is It So Hard to Have a Natural Birth Nowadays?
As a registered labor nurse and childbirth educator, I meet so many first-time moms who want a natural birth…
but feel like the system is working against them.
Here are 4 reasons why it’s more challenging today:
1️⃣ We live in a fast-paced, medicalized culture.
Hospitals prioritize efficiency and risk management, which often leads to early inductions, continuous monitoring, and cascading interventions.
2️⃣ Fear has become the default.
Most women grow up hearing stories of pain and emergencies. Fear tightens the body, increases pain, and makes natural birth feel impossible.
3️⃣ We’re less connected to our bodies.
Modern life encourages sitting, screens, and stress—not movement, breathwork, or intuition. Our bodies are designed for birth, but we rarely train them for it.
4️⃣ Education is inconsistent or missing.
Many prenatal classes explain what happens, but not how to prepare your mind and body for natural birth. Without tools, moms feel unprepared.
The good news?
Natural birth is possible.
With the right preparation, support, and understanding of your body’s design, women can—and do—experience calm, confident natural births even in today’s system.
This is exactly why I teach the Joyous Childbirth Method:
to help moms reduce fear, take back their power, and work with their bodies, not against them.
