Home Birth
Benefits of Home Birth and Midwifery Care:
- Home birth is a safe choice for low-risk, healthy pregnancies
- Clinical research continues to demonstrate that home birth is at least as safe as hospital birth during normal pregnancies and births, has far fewer interventions (including cesarean section), and a significantly higher rate of client satisfaction
- Home birth means you are in the comfort, privacy, and safety of your home
- You can wear whatever you want, eat & drink what you like, and labor and birth in the positions & locations you feel are right for you
- Home birth means you and your baby will be skin-to-skin immediately after the birth and throughout the postpartum, which facilitates bonding and ease of breastfeeding
- Clients of Nourish Midwifery benefit from having the same primary care provider for the entirety of their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum
- Midwives are fully trained in both home-management of emergencies as well as early recognition of the conditions and complications that occasionally arise and require medical assistance
- You choose who will be with you during your labor, birth and immediate postpartum
- Home birth supports your body’s natural rhythms to reveal themselves, uninterrupted
