Elisabeth Bing, the co-founder of Lamaze International, who promoted ‘child birth’ and helped change how ladies and doctors drew nearer the ‘delivery room’, passed away on 15^th May, 2015 at the age of 100 in New York. The German taught anticipatory mothers the technique of breathing and relaxation.

She took interest in labour strategies in the 1950s, when ladies were frequently medicated intensely and fathers were for the most of the time seen far away from the labour room.

Bing got training as a physical specialist, she taught ‘breathing’ and ‘relaxation’ strategies to eras of anticipatory mothers, composed numerous books about conception and pregnancy and inspired ladies and gents to be more arranged, dynamic and to become curious participants in the landing of their babies.

Elisabeth Bing was born in Berlin, Germany on 8^th July 1914. Bing fled Nazi Germany with her family for England, where she got her training on ‘physical therapy’. Working with anticipatory mothers, she got her reasoning about practices on ‘child birth’. This sort of interest she conveyed with her to the United States in 1949.

She was being enlightened about the concepts developed by a few specialists, including Fernand Lamaze (obstetrics), for utilizing breathing and mental readiness to overcome ‘labour pain’ without medicine. She set up Lamaze International in the year 1960 to spread out the techniques with Marjorie Karmel.

Bing conceived an offspring herself at the age of 40 years, she was given ‘Spinal Anesthesia’ and ‘Nitric Oxide’. She told the reporters that she had derived that training on ‘Childbirth’ was not about rejecting medicines, but instead about teaching a lady how she could help herself to an optimum level.

Lamaze turned into a family word, woven into ‘pop culture’. Its marked classes included both ladies and gents, with the thought that fathers could give passionate and mental boost-up in the ‘labour room’.

Through of declining all painkillers during labour pain dropped out of support with numerous ladies, and a few couples looked for shorter conception arrangement classes than Bing’s six-week program.

She told reporters in 2004 that in her opinion, it has changed the entire standpoint toward obstetrics and pregnant ladies, not so much specialized changes, but rather the mental and viable ways to deal with pregnancy.

Lamaze International is such an organization which has around 2,000 childbirth consultants around the globe. It promotes healthy and natural child birth more widely with several arrangements. Robin Elise, President of the Lamaze International told that Elisabeth Bing’s impact prevailed there in delivery rooms around the country.
