Planned Home Birth is Safe for Most Mothers and Babies...

Healthy women with qualified care providers, usually midwives, can have safe home births.

Home birth reduces:

· the risk of infection

· risks from unnecessary interventions

· maternal morbidity rates from complications and interventions

· risk from errors in hospitals

· interference in bonding and breastfeeding from hospital policies

· risks from poor staffing levels in hospitals

· the risks of tampering with the baby

Home birth provides:

· safe, familiar and private surroundings for labor and birth

· woman-centered care during pregnancy, labor, and birth

· family-oriented birth with no strangers present

· an opportunity for immediate bonding and breastfeeding

· less disruption and stress for the whole family

· affirmation that birth is a normal and profound life event

Research shows that planned home birth with a qualified attendant is safe for most mothers and babies.

The Midwives Model of Care...

The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes.

The Midwives Model of Care includes:

Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle
Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support
Minimizing technological interventions
Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention

The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section.

The Midwives Model of Care is Our Standard...

You can expect to be respected throughout your care and provided with a superior level of personal attention.
You will be provided with a variety of information during your care and are encouraged to ask questions.
You will be monitored appropriately to determine both natural processes and any early signs of problems that may require referrals to other health care specialists.
Individualized care for each patient is standard. We recognize each woman's ability in her own natural process of birth and we are her support. We do not "deliver" your baby, we assist and empower you to give birth to your own baby.
We provide natural techniques for managing pain.
Your caregiver provides support during as well as after birth. From post-partum care to assistance with breastfeeding, we stay with you until you and baby are resting comfortably. We continue to stay in close contact during the days following birth to answer any questions or to assist when needed.
