Birth as a medical process in a medical facility creates little privacy or family decision making, and takes away many choices families later wish they had the freedom to make. Birth is a natural process, not an illness needing hospitalization. Giving birth at home allows mother and baby to bond as soon after birth as possible. This gives the baby the best chance for physical, emotional, and mental health. For all women without any serious medical complications during pregnancy, home birth is perfectly safe. Most importantly, the mother will be in control as a partner in her care, assisted by someone she knows- her midwife.With West Texas Birth Services, your Licensed and Certified Professional Midwife follows the Midwives Model of Care This approach is unlike using traditional obstetric care, in that it is family-centered and focuses strongly on the mother's wellbeing as an important factor in a good birth outcome.

Nevertheless, studies upon studies have shown that planning a Midwife Led home birth with a Certified Professional Midwife is a great choice if you want to avoid unnecessary medical intervention. Midwives are experts in supporting the physiological birth process: monitoring you and your baby during labor, helping you into positions that help labor progress, protecting your pelvic parts from damage while you push, and "catching" the baby from the position that's most effective and comfortable for you - hands and knees, squatting, even standing - not the position most comfortable for the healthcare provider. When healthy women are supported this way, over 95% can give birth safely, with little or no intervention at all.Many of the benefits of your Midwife maternity care begin with your prenatal visits.
