The delivery processes has undergone extensive modification over the past three decades. In particular, the place of delivery changed from home to hospital. So, medical doctor and staffs tend to follow their own convenience in some medical treatments and positions of delivery, and as a result, they limit the delivering women's choices and the expression of their own wills. Although the woman may suspect their instincts are natural, they may also suspect their instincts are not normal. We will argue the meaning of the natural child birth. This paper examines the significance of the decision-making process for delivering women. Furthemore, we analyze historical midwifery, and compare it with medical delivery since a midwife helps in the delivery and care of a pregnant woman.
