This website, Mother's Advocate, has links to some great videos and print information that describe the Lamaze Healthy Birth Practices. These six recommendations are grounded in research and supported by the World Health Organization:
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 your baby with you -- it's best for you, your baby, and breastfeeding
