It turns out that low risk pregnancies need lees labor interventions. That is a good thing because it means you will need less help. That urges healthcare providers to ease up on the care, as long as everything is going well with mom and baby. But, just because it is a low risk pregnancy, that does not mean that your doctor should pay no attention to you.

Key Takeaways:

• The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) says women with low-risk pregnancies would likely fare better during labor if healthcare providers intervened less.
• Low-risk generally means your pregnancy has been uncomplicated and you go into labor spontaneously when you’re at full-term.
• If the fetus is doing well, you and your doctor might consider waiting to go to hospital until you are 5 or 6 centimeters dilated.

“Hospitals and birthing centers should offer emotional support for women during labor. ACOG also encourages providing drug-free techniques for pain reduction and relaxation such as massage and spending time in water during the early stages of labor.”
