Home Birth
Our holistic Home Birth package provides families the opportunity to remain in the comfort of their home while being tended to by the hands of skilled providers using up-to-date evidence based care. We appreciate that preparing for a new child is one of the most important experiences in your life. These are some benefits of a home birth:
- Comfort and familiarity: Home birth allows you to give birth in the comfort and familiar surroundings of your own home. This can create a more relaxed and less stressful atmosphere, which can contribute to a positive birthing experience.
- Personalized care: During a home birth, we provide one-on-one care, offering personalized support and attention to your needs. This level of care can foster a stronger sense of trust and connection, promoting a more empowering birth experience.
- Reduced medical interventions: Research has shown that home birth is associated with lower rates of medical intervention. This can lead to faster recovery times and a decreased risk of complications associated with medical interventions.
- Freedom of movement and position: In a home birth setting, you have the freedom to move and change positions during labor. This can aid in finding the most comfortable positions for coping with contractions and facilitate the progress of labor.
- Supportive environment: Home births often involve the presence of family members or other loved ones, creating a supportive and intimate environment for you. This emotional support can positively impact the birth experience.
- Lower infection risk: Hospitals can harbor various infectious agents, and the risk of exposure to hospital-acquired infections is lower in a home birth setting.
- Autonomy and empowerment: For many, the autonomy and control over their birth choices are essential. Opting for a home birth allows you to take an active role in their birthing process and decision-making, fostering a sense of empowerment.
- Enhanced bonding and breastfeeding: Being in a familiar environment can facilitate early bonding between the mother and her newborn. Additionally, breastfeeding initiation may be more comfortable and successful in a relaxed home environment.
- Avoiding unnecessary interventions: We follow a more natural and hands-off approach to childbirth, intervening only when necessary. This can help avoid unnecessary interventions and promote a physiological birth process.
Birth Center
Our Davis County Birth Center package provides families a more home-like environment for childbirth; combining the comfort of a home birth with the safety and support of a medical setting. These are some advantages of choosing a birth center birth:
- Proximity to the hospital: Should you or your baby need to transfer for medical reasons, our birth center is located only four minutes away from Lakeview Hospital, which has a Level II NICU equipped to handle ill and premature babies born as early as 32 weeks.
- Personalized care and attention: We have a low client-to-midwife ratio, allowing us to provide individualized care and attention throughout your pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period. This personalized approach fosters a strong sense of trust and rapport allowing us to provide the best care for your circumstances.
- Natural childbirth support: We emphasize the use of non-invasive and non-pharmacological pain relief methods, such as hydrotherapy, water birth, relaxation techniques, and movement during labor. We also encourage eating and drinking to maintain energy.
- Comforting and home-like environment: Our Birth center was designed to create a warm and welcoming ambiance, resembling a homely setting. This environment can reduce stress and anxiety for pregnancy, labor, and birth, facilitating a more relaxed birthing experience.
- Lower medical intervention rates: Research has shown that birth centers generally have lower rates of medical interventions, compared to traditional hospital settings. This is largely due to the focus on supporting natural childbirth and the ability to offer personalized care.
- Family-centered approach: We love and encourage family involvement, allowing partners, siblings, and loved ones to play an active role in the prenatal care and birthing process. This creates a more intimate and supportive atmosphere, which can positively impact your pregnancy and birth experience as a whole.
- Continuity of care: To ensure the most personalized level of care throughout your birth journey, we offer longer appointments ranging 30-60 minutes, allowing you to ask questions and get to know your midwives throughout pregnancy. We work along side you in pregnancy to help you develop a birth plan that feels affirming, empowering, and comfortable. It is our belief that as midwives, we can work collaboratively with our clients and empower them to take charge of their health during this time.
- Lower healthcare costs: Birth center births are generally less expensive than hospital births, making them a more affordable option for families without compromising the quality of care. Additionally, fewer medical interventions can lead to reduced medical expenses.
- Reduced risk of hospital-acquired infections: Birth centers have lower infection rates compared to hospitals, which can be beneficial for both the mother and the newborn.
We look forward to working with you and showing you what exceptional midwifery care can look like.
