Pregnancy, and childbirth, are very transformational events in life. As hospital birth techniques become more popular, the risks involved with them become more evident. With everyone "going green" these days, natural options in childbirth are on the rise (as they should have been forever!) Many women, are unaware that they have options. Home birth, has been around since the beginning of our existence. But for some women, the thought of giving birth at home, is "scary", and "dangerous". Statistically, women who give birth at home, have less need for medical interventions such as forcep deliveries, and the ever popular episiotomy. But, is it safe?
Certified Profesional Midwife's or CPM's, are skilled, and well trained individuals, who offer safe, natural, comfortable, home birth to their clients. CPM's have to meet rigorous requirements, to become certified. They are trained, in natural, normal, healthy, pregnancies, and birth. Studies, and statistics alike, have shown that the outcome for homebirth vs. clinical birth, is the same if not better. Imagine, being able to birth your baby, in the comfort of your own home. To be able to eat, drink, move, or even dance, freely, without being hooked up to wires, and IV's. It is possible! CPM's take on women who are having normal, healthy pregnancies. Low risk, or No risk. As always, if there is a serious complication in a pregnancy, a midwife would never hesitate to refer to a specialist.
Giving birth is an amazing journey, and home birth has so much to offer. Many CPM's offer the rental of birthing tubs, as well as utilizing yourself, or even your partner if you wish, to deliver the baby. CPM's respect child birth a normal event, and believe that your birth should be excatly how you vision it.
