Home Birth
​
Why people choose to birth at home:
-
your preferences are prioritized
-
care is tailored to your specific needs
-
you never have to drive to another location mid-birth
-
you choose who is at your birth, and in what capacity
-
being in your own space lowers the risk of infection
-
you eat, drink, shower and bathe at your leisure- you get to just do your thing!
-
there are no unnecessary interventions
-
there is a low risk of cesarian birth
-
you birth in whatever position, in whatever location feels best for you
-
your baby remains with you. Always.
-
Post partum care is gentle, thorough, and frequent for both baby and parent
...and so much more!​
