"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."
Thomas A. Edison
From the moment you find out you’re pregnant, the whole world changes. Your mind is flooded with questions. Is it a boy or a girl? Oh, I hope it’s a …! Well, I don’t care as long as it’s healthy. What will the baby look like?
There are debates over names and what color to paint the nursery. The sports car is traded for a minivan. No more wine at dinner. You sit and stretch and breathe through countless childbirth education classes. So many decisions it seems. So many options until the issue of the actual birth arises.
What a relief to finally be in labor with bags packed and on your way to the hospital. And what a panic it is to get there. But you do get there before the baby arrives. And then you're offered an epidural whose effects on your baby you know nothing about. Meanwhile your partner holds onto a shaky camera before passing out. You push your baby into the world and then it is whisked away for examination and a shot. Just like in the movies, right?
Well, THERE IS ANOTHER WAY. And 80% of the women in the world deliver their babies this way. Imagine being surrounded by your loved ones, in your own home, with the support of a trained midwife to help you through each step of your baby's birth. No drugs, no strangers, no timeframe. No unnecessary drama. Have you ever seen a birth like this in the movies?
Our goal is simply to increase everyone's awareness about their options for birth. You'll choose the right way for you.
