Ram Kumar Garg

Abstract


The Lamaze Technique in antenatal care empowers parents through informed decision‑making and active involvement. It effectively reduces childbirth‑related anxiety with comprehensive fear management tools and emphasizes the importance of partner involvement in fostering teamwork.[1] The technique prioritizes non‑medical pain management methods and holistic coping mechanisms, enhancing the overall childbirth experience. Trust in natural birth enhances the experience, offering additional benefits including smoother postpartum recovery and comprehensive childbirth education. The adaptability of Lamaze technique makes it suitable for various settings, ensuring accurate information for informed decisions and promoting empowerment, anxiety reduction, and fostering a positive childbirth experience. Lamaze uptake hurdles include: Awareness, cultural factors, medical needs, and rural accessibility.[2]…………………….
