Instead, We come to you. For some women it can be difficult to recognize when labor is actually underway. Instead of making trips back and forth to a birth center or hospital, we come and check on you to evaluate your labor. When labor is established, we come to stay with you until your baby is born and until the two of you are stable and on your own.Midwife means â&euro&oeligwith womanâ&euro. We stay with you continuously through your labor and birth. Continuity of care increases safety during pregnancy and birth. Compared to hospital staff, with frequent shift changes and impersonal â&euro&oeligbabysittingâ&euro by the electronic fetal monitor, the homebirth midwife knows her client intimately and is closely attuned to her well-being and that of her baby.When your baby is born, he or she will go directly into your arms. We do not cut the umbilical cord until after the placenta is born. The baby continues to be oxygenated by the placenta after birth. Any necessary assessments, such as evaluating your babyâ&euro&trades breathing and heart rate, are done with your baby in your arms. The best place for your baby after birth is in your arms next to your heart.Some fathers ask if they can catch the baby. Absolutely, yes. I support your babyâ&euro&trades father in receiving your baby, and I will be right next to him should he need help.Postpartum Care at HomeAfter the birth, since youâ&euro&tradere already at home, you can just stay in bed, skin to skin with your baby.Ideally, you and your new baby will spend three quiet days together in bed while you wait for your milk to come in. These first three days are a time for you both to rest and integrate the birth experience.Itâ&euro&trades best for the environment to be quiet and under-stimulating. In general, visitors should be discouraged during the first week after the birth except to drop off food at the door. Someone close to you should move in for one week to help care for older siblings, cook, serve you food in bed, do the laundry, shop, answer the phone, answer the door, get the mail, etc.We visit you and your baby 24 hours after the birth, three days after the birth and one week after the birth. You should schedule a one week appointment with your pediatrician. An office visit is scheduled with us six weeks postpartum to check on you again and discuss options for family planning (birth control).
