TranslationsEncyclopediaSeemethodLamaze method
Lamaze method [lah-mahz´] a method of preparation for childbirth developed by the French obstetrician Fernand Lamaze, and based on the Russian psychoprophylactic technique of training the mind and body for the purpose of modifying the perception of pain during labor and delivery. The Lamaze method of prepared childbirth involves class sessions for the mother and her partner in which they learn about the birth process and the mechanisms of labor, are taught what to expect and what is expected of them during the birth of their child, and are trained in special exercises that develop neuromuscular control, promote physical conditioning, and eliminate or reduce the need for drugs and instruments during delivery. Advocates of the Lamaze method do not claim complete absence of pain during labor and delivery in every case, but they do feel that the method enriches the lives of the parents in many ways and provides for them a means of sharing the birth experience that is denied to them in the other methods of hospital deliveries.La·maze meth·od (lĕ-mahz'), a technique of psychoprophylactic preparation for childbirth, designed to minimize the pain of labor.La·maze meth·od (lĕ-mahz' meth'ŏd) A technique of psychoprophylactic preparation for childbirth, designed to minimize the pain of labor.
