To begin with, because we’re mammals, what best facilitates labor progress is an environment in which we feel safe and protected, one that is private, quiet, peaceful, familiar, and free of disturbances and interruptions. The typical hospital environment is none of the above.
Even more important, because we’re humans, labor progresses best when we have people we trust to guide us and to provide physical and emotional comfort as we navigate the challenges of laboring and giving birth. Typical L&D nursing is about monitoring, administering treatment, and assisting the doctor or midwife.
