Natural childbirth is almost non-traumatic to the mother's body, with less bleeding and faster postpartum recovery. It will not require abdominal surgery, will not damage the vitality of the female body, and the uterus will recover quickly. Natural childbirth will also promote the secretion of female milk and the excretion and drainage of postpartum lochia, and will not cause complications caused by anesthesia.

The vagina is called the gate of life. During normal delivery, uterine contractions and the squeezing of the birth canal can expel some fluid from the baby's respiratory tract, reducing the incidence of wet lung and aspiration pneumonia. At the same time, it has a certain stimulating effect on the fetus's respiratory central system, so the baby's respiratory reflex can be established normally after birth.

Compared with cesarean section, natural birth allows the mother to transfer immunoglobulin to the baby during the delivery process, giving the baby stronger resistance and immunity.
