Labor & Birth

Every birth is attended by your lead midwife as well as an apprentice midwife or birth assistant. This allows for smooth management of rare complications and a qualified caregiver for both you and baby if needed. Each birth attendant is certified in Neonatal Resuscitation and CPR. The apprenticeship model is a time-honored collaboration between midwife & apprentice and is imperative for the preservation of midwifery. Thank you for allowing our apprentices to be involved in your care. 

During labor & delivery your team:

• Provides hands-on assistance during labor and delivery

• Monitors vitals of both of you & baby

• Facilitates a low-stress birth environment

• Equips you and your support team with the most up-to-date information based on the best available evidence

• Utilizes evidence-based technology when appropriate and strives for minimal intervention
