A midwife partners with you. A midwife offers guidance, protects your privacy and seeks to fulfill your needs by offering choices, and respecting your birth choices. We understand that you may change your mind in birth. We will go with you to the hospital and support you there.
To get to this place of optimal birthing we take the time to get to know you. We listen to you during your prenatal experience. You may mention the reasons the last birth was not ideal, or was traumatic. It then becomes our goal to help you re-write the script for this birth. We talk about diet, exercise, birth and parenting preparation. The prenatal appointments include addressing inner fears and barriers. As time moves forward, during your birth, our focus is on you. We treat you the way we would like to be treated; with respect and kindness. With the knowledge that this is your birth and your baby. Your birth plan is important to us. As the midwife, we are also a guest at your birth.
It is also our job to ensure you and your baby's safety, and to guide the birth energy toward optimum birth and healthy motherhood. Safety of baby and mom is a priority. We know that it is you who is giving birth, and you who creates the reality of your birth. And, we are praying for you as your birthing time approaches.
