Homebirth

 

Homebirth is …

Safe. Affordable.

Birth progresses best when we feel safe and respected. When our families are safe and well cared for. When we know and trust our care team.

Home is most often where we are the most comfortable, the most relaxed and the most able to let go.

Why Homebirth?

Autonomy. Privacy.

Homebirth is chosen for a variety of reasons including:

  • Control over who will be at the birth

  • Inclusion of family & kiddos

  • Desire to avoid unnecessary medical intervention

  • Desire for increased autonomy in one’s care

Homebirth is …

NOT At All Costs.

Homebirth is only when it is safe and working for everyone involved.

We do not take unnecessary risks. We transfer to the hospital if something arises that requires us to do so. Your families safety is my primary concern.

Always.
