1. Let labor begin on its own.
2. Walk, move around and change positions throughout labor.
3. Bring a loved one, friend or doula for continuous support.
4. Avoid interventions that are not medically necessary.
5. Avoid giving birth on your back and follow your body's urges to push.
6. Keep mother and baby together — it's best for mother, baby and breastfeeding.
