Lamaze Myths

Women once learned about birth from their mothers, sisters and friends. Birth took place at home with family rituals and traditions to help women feel confident in their ability during labor. Today, a process, which is by definition natural, has become rigidly structured and controlled. There is much misinformation about birth. So much so, expectant parents can’t determine what is true and what is a myth.

Listed below are the top 5 myths about Lamaze:

* Myth #1: Lamaze is all about breathing.
* Myth #2: Lamaze promises painless childbirth.
* Myth #3: Lamaze childbirth means you can’t have an epidural.
* Myth #4: Lamaze doesn’t work.
* Myth #5: Lamaze is not for everyone.
