You’ve asked the right question in your Google search. ‘How-to’ is a skills loaded phrase. Giving birth is always an activity that you will do as a woman and your baby will do.

Not every woman 'labors' but every birth is hard work
The 1970s in the US was a shifting Time in childbirth. Lamaze and The Bradley Method were well known. Millions of birthing women used these skills and fathers were being permitted to come into hospitals and be a ‘birth-coach’ using these birth breathing techniques.
Sadly these skills focused on a small group of women:
- Low risk pregnant women who wanted a natural birth
- Those who were seeking a pain-free labor
- Women seeking to reduce medical care
Many too many birthing women were just plan left out of this first evolution of birth breathing techniques.
Birthing Better skills began to develop in the early 1970s created by hundreds of pregnant families from diverse backgrounds who just wanted good birth breathing skills for their birth experience.
