Statistics indicate that for the low-risk woman and her child, the morbidity and mortality rates are the same or lower in a planned homebirth with a midwife than for matched populations of birthing women in the hospital.

Studies indicate that homebirth midwives provide the safest and best maternity care for healthy pregnant women, while spending on the average of 20 times more hours with clients than do obstetricians. During your prenatal care I will share information about the benefits of good nutrition, exercise and rest. We will discuss choices such as rupture of membranes, pain management techniques, postpartum care, and community support. Our time spent together helps us develop a strong personal relationship.

Homebirth Midwifery care includes complete prenatal care, homebirth care, postpartum care, newborn exams, and recommendations and assistance in using alternative therapies such as massage, nutrition, meditation, exercise, herbs and homeopathy to achieve and maintain a health pregnancy.

For more information, please see my homebirth contract under the frequently asked questions page.
