Laon maternity ward, new delivery room

Laon maternity ward, new delivery room

Report on the maternity of Laon and its physiological room called "nature" preparing in another way women for childbirth accompanied by midwife. It is another way of giving life, in a medical setting but allowing as much as possible the woman about to give birth to control her pain and to live intensely an event so special. This mother is going to give birth these days to her third child. She discovers "the nature room" very different from a classic delivery room. A soothing decor and above all a novelty: a bathtub not to give birth but to reduce contractions and relax, and to accelerate the work. It also involves stretching on hanging lianas, postures and gentle balloon movements, accompanied by a midwife. Relaxing means that are an alternative to epidural for expectant mothers. Commentary on factual images alternating with testimonies of future mothers and midwives.
