With the ease of medicated birth and modern technological interventions, natural birth may seem like a lesser alternative. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of natural birth?
  1. All interventions are without risk, making a medicated birth and natural birth equal as far as risk.
  2. A woman who gives birth naturally maintains her locus of control.
  3. Natural birth encourages a woman to trust her body, improving her body image and self esteem for the rest of her life.
  4. A woman who learns to advocate for herself in birth will be better able to advocate for her family.
Explanation
Answer: A - Interventions by their very nature signify a trade-off - some benefits at the expense of some possible risks. Natural birth is the medically safer option. Natural birth is associated with improved self-confidence. It allows the woman to make educated decisions for herself, rather than having decisions made for her. She is empowered to take charge of her own and her family's health.
