Those attending your birth are by your invitation only. Everyone you choose is educated in advance by your midwife so that they are prepared for the birth experience. You and your partner decide how to labor and where to give birth. Gentle Birth Midwife, P.C. provides professional care and the medical equipment necessary to create a safe place for birth in your setting. There are no routines, no regularly performed procedures, and no rules to worry about.
Water birth is an option at home.
At Gentle Birth Midwife, P.C. , we have a portable spa for use by our clients. Women have long found hydrotherapy to be helpful during labor. While not all women might choose to deliver their baby in the water, most enjoy laboring in the tub. At home your midwife is free to use a variety of holistic therapies to assist you during labor, delivery and immediately postpartum. Therapeutic touch and massage are very helpful for relaxation.
