French obstetrician Ferdinand Lamaze developed a method similar to natural childbirth that is known as .

Prepared Childbirth (Lamaze technique)

Prepared childbirth makes the mother aware of what to expect during pregnancy and how to react according to the situation. Through classes and hands-on training mothers are taught coping mechanisms to deal with the pain of the contractions during labor.

These include breathing techniques, use of hot packs and cold packs, natural initiation of labor, upright position etc.

Hence, the statement is referring to prepared childbirth.
