Being born can be traumatic for a new baby’s system. Yes, babies have soft structures and are able to squeeze through the birth canal as they have been doing since the beginning of humanity, however, the process in this day in age is slightly different. We now have tools such as forceps and vacuums, doctors who pull, tug, and manipulate a baby’s head and shoulders to help the process of delivery and speed things up if necessary. Certainly there are some doctors and midwives who allow for a more natural delivery, as long as mom and baby are healthy!
