Problem

Excessive medical intervention in childbirth

Nature:

While a small proportion of women require dramatic surgical intervention to deliver a baby, most mothers require none of the expensive overprecautions used as normal maternity care. The movement of midwives and home birthing training have created a healthy alternative to the terrifying experience of hospitalization, overmedication and regimentation that surround the birthing process in most developed countries.
