HAPPY BIRTH, HAPPY BABY

 Trust yourself, Trust Birth!! 

Natural Labor and Birth is something that is very achievable with the education, research and dedication. I feel honored to be able to provide education, non-judgmental guidance and advocacy to help expectant parents make informed and wise decisions for themselves and their babies. As a childbirth educator, I keep classes creative, lively, fun, and very informative. I teach couples how to listen to their intuition, how to become their own advocates and make decisions based on factual information.   Choosing Natural Childbirth doesn’t mean choosing pain.  There are a variety of natural comfort measures that can be used for labor and birth. Women who choose natural childbirth realize that any artificial interruption in birthing, even for the best of intentions, adds risks.  Whenever we interfere with the normal process of birthing, we increase the risks to both the mother and her child. None of these natural techniques carry risks

One of the biggest questions I get asked is “Why do you want to have a natural childbirth?”  There are many answers to that question, but here’s why most moms say they chose to have a natural birth:

• It is safest for the baby.  (there are risks to ALL drugs and interventions in labor)
• It is safest for mom.
• A mother is better able to bond with her baby
• Breastfeeding can be much easier after an unmediated birth
• It decreases the chance of having to have a caesarean or assisted delivery (forceps or vacuum)
• There is a quicker recovery time after baby is born
• Unmediated births are far less invasive than medically managed births
• There is a tremendous feeling of satisfaction after giving birth naturally
