Birth is empowering.
The special care of a midwife means…
Comprehensive prenatal and postpartum care
Continuous support and monitoring throughout labor and birth
Prenatal counseling to build a foundation of confidence, trust and comfort
Acknowledgment of hopes, fears and expectations of birth
Working together to understand and experience the beauty and power of birth
Postpartum support for breastfeeding and family bonding
The Midwives Model of Care is based
on the fact that pregnancy and birth
are normal life processes.
The Midwives Model of Care includes:
Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle
Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support
Minimizing technological interventions
Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention
