Abstract
We do not often think about how we began in this world. But for each
of us, it was through birth. Today, the medical management
model, and with it the focus on the pathological potential of
pregnancy and delivery, has seeped into our society. The typical way
the average person views birth, if they think about it at all, is
something dangerous that doctors take care of for us. I am here to
speak about the under-recognized over-medicalization of childbirth, its
negative consequences, and my proposed potential first solution.
