What Makes Midwifery Care Different?
Midwives offer personalized and intimate care that puts a woman in charge. Skilled midwifery care preserves the normal, physiological processes of pregnancy and labor without unnecessary intervention or technology. Midwives provide physical and emotional support and comfort, not only for the woman, but for her entire family. Midwives, on average, spend far more time with a woman during her pregnancy and birth than does a physician. She spends time getting to know the woman and her family and time developing a caring, trusting relationship.

What Are the Benefits Of Homebirth?
Giving birth at home means you can surround yourself with family and supporters, including your midwives, who know and care about you. You can move around, eat and drink, labor and give birth in whatever manner you choose. You and your new baby are never separated.

What does a labor assistant do?
As your labor assistant service, we will provide you with education on the labor and birth process, provide emotional support, act as your advocate during your birth, assist your other support members in becoming more involved in your birth process and provide comfort measures.

When should I hire a midwife, labor assistant or childbirth educator?
While you may hire these professionals at any stage of pregnancy, it is best to make a decision and begin the hiring process as early as possible in your pregnancy. This will allow you to receive the maximum benefit of care and education as well as allow you the opportunity to build a closer relationship with your childbirth professionals.
