Home Birth
The magic of home birth
For healthy, low-risk women and also for some mother’s who have been told they are “high risk” who desire an undisturbed birth, one where they are 100% in charge of their choices and decisions, home birth is the best option.
Birth is fundamentally a hormonal process. These essential hormones flow when a woman feels SAFE, UNOBSERVED, and UNDISTURBED. At home, you control the environment entirely, however you like it: soft lighting, warmth, darkness, privacy, security, and surrounded only by people you know and trust.
Benefits of Birthing at Home
Optimal Hormone Flow: In a familiar, calm, and dimly lit space, your body produces the essential hormones needed for labor. You are far less likely to produce high levels of adrenaline (the "fight or flight" hormone), which can interrupt the flow of birth hormones and slow labor down.
True Continuity of Care: You are much more likely to know the midwives who support your birth. Research consistently proves that continuity of care leads to better outcomes for both mothers and babies.
Comfort and Control: If is easier to feel in control in your own environment, with the comfort of your own bed, bathroom, and belongings. You are free to move, eat, and rest as you wish, without the stress of deciding when to transfer to a unit, managing the time restraints and policies of a hospital setting
BIRTH for most women IS NOT AND SHOULD NOT BE A MEDICAL EVENT- it’s a normal physiological process of the body !
