Term:
Lamaze method of childbirth
Description:
Method of psychophysical preparation for childbirth, developed by the French obstetrician Fernand Lamaze in the 1950's, that is now the most widely used method of natural childbirth. In classes during pregnancy and in practice sessions at home, the pregnant woman, usually with the help of a coach (called a monitrice), learns the physiology and techniques of relaxation, concentration, and breathing, and exercises certain muscles to promote control during labor and childbirth.
