Birthing options

Last week, we urged women to learn their rights when it comes to labour options. This week, we explore the various birthing methods available in Malaysia.

THE absence of birth centres or assisted home births (due to lack of support system) in Malaysia means most healthy women with low-risk pregnancies are resigned to giving birth in cold, sterile hospitals. But women who are hoping for a low-tech birth experience can reach out to a variety of alternatives, like birthing pools, HypnoBirthing, and active birthing methods.
