| At Mama Love Midwifery we strongly believe in a woman's ability to give birth. We see the growth of your baby as not just one of physiological health, but a process that stems from your love and the love of your family. In working with us you will be the primary decision maker in your care, with your midwives as guides. We feel that the more empowered you are in your prenatal care, the more empowered you will be in the birth of your baby, and as a parent. Birth is a rite of passage, and we are assistants in your rite of passage. In our 1 hour prenatal visits, using nutritional and herbal support we will guide you in your pregnancy and the changes in your body. We also offer group prenatals as a way for you to connect with other childbearing women. Through these unique visits, you have the opportunity to learn how other pregnant women are caring for themselves, as well as build lasting connections. Throughout your care, we are available 24/7 for any healthcare needs that may arise. With regular phone support, or an additional visit, we will help you find the best remedy for your concern. We will support you in your emotional process, as we see this to be a strong influence in the birth process. Part of the preparation of childbirth is the acknowledgement of fears and challenges that may arise. The trust that we build prenatally will give you even more room to birth confidently. We each have specific tools to offer women who are healing from traumatic experiences. Birth is a way to heal your soul, psyche, and body. Whether you may be recovering from sexual trauma, a previous traumatic birth, an abusive relationship, or just the process of growing up, we will help you find your way to move through and beyond those past experiences, and on to a birth experience that is informed by a new way of being. In the birth room we will follow your lead, and nudge you when you need nudging. We deeply value the sacredness of birth. And, without losing sight of that sacredness, we also deeply value our skills, and are continually educating ourselves to keep those skills sharp, as well as aquire new ones. This means that if there is an emergent situation, we will be ready. After your baby has arrived we will foster your family's bonding right away. We will assure that everyone is stable and healthy before we tuck you into bed. We will return for postpartums on days 1, 3,as well as 5 or 7. At 2, 4 and 6 weeks you will come into our office for your final visits. If at any point you are needing more support, we will make sure that you get it. Just like during your prenatal care, we will be available for phone support regularly. By planning a homebirth, you are planning a beginning for your baby that focuses on wellness and on your ability to care for your family. |
