*Water Birth*

Many of my clients find great relief from the use of warm water therapy via a birth pool during labor. I have Birthing pools available for rent.  Mothers enjoy reduced discomfort and are able to relax more during the waves of labor. Being submerged in warm water often helps with keeping blood pressure stable, as well as lowering anxiety. It provides buoyancy, promotes more efficient uterine activity. Improves blood circulation resulting in better oxygenation of uterine muscles, less pain for the mother and more oxygen for the baby. Newborns benefit from a smooth transition from the watery womb to the dry air of the outside world. I’m trained to facilitate safe birth in the water. 

*VBAC *

Vaginal Birth after Cesarean is a viable and safe option for families desiring a home birth with midwives. With appropriate screening, healthy women wanting to have a home VBAC are welcome.

Studies show that those who are under midwifery care have a 30% less chance of a cesarean when giving birth for the first time and 40% less for woman who have disliked before. Midwife’s trust birth and are less likely to use medical interventions before or during labor.

I focus on my clients desires and helping labor to progress in a natural way. I also focus on the positioning on the baby and how it can impact labor. Malpostistioned babies are one of the main reasons for a cesarean birth.
