What is the midwifery model of care?

• The midwifery model at Haven Birth and Wellness emphasizes personalized and holistic care, promoting low to no intervention childbirth, and providing continuous support during labor and birth, embodying the essence of care and comfort.
  
  The midwifery model sets the mother’s well-being, experience, and comfort as the central focus of prenatal care. This model sees each soon-to-be mother as a unique person, with their own expectations, beliefs, knowledge, and worries about their pregnancy. The midwife’s role is more than just to deliver the baby. They also offer counseling, education, and emotional support from the beginning of this journey, from prenatal to postpartum care.

  We offer personalized labor and birth support to ensure you have a fulfilling birth experience.

During this time we can offer breastfeeding support, clean up any “mess”, and help you to rest and bond with your child in the safety and comfort of your own home.

Is A Home Birth Safe?

• Yes. With the guidance and care of a well-qualified certified midwife, a home birth can be a safe experience for both you and the baby.

A licensed midwife will be by your side throughout the entire process, and for a few hours postpartum to ensure everyone is healthy and safe. Across the globe, nearly 80% of people alive today were born with midwives, and oftentimes countries where midwifery is common practice boast the lowest infant mortality rates.

What Is A Birth Center?

Unlike a conventional hospital, Haven Birth and Wellness emphasizes a holistic, family-centric approach to childbirth.

Am I A Good Candidate For Out-Of-Hospital Birth?

• Absolutely, many women find an out-of-hospital birth to be a fitting choice for their childbirth experience. At Haven Birth and Wellness, we prioritize a thorough prenatal screening for all our expectant mothers to ensure that an at-home or birth center delivery is a suitable and safe option for them.

Through our prenatal screening and consultations, we aim to provide clear insights and professional guidance to help you choose the birthing option that aligns with both your personal preferences and medical circumstances.

It can also help to optimize the pelvis alignment, creating a conducive environment for a smoother labor and delivery.

Why Would I Need Chiropractic Care

• The journey of pregnancy and postpartum brings about profound changes in your body, and chiropractic care can be a valuable support during these transformative times. During pregnancy, your body adapts to accommodate the growing baby, which can sometimes result in discomfort, pain, or misalignments, particularly in the spine and pelvis. Regular chiropractic care can provide relief by ensuring proper spinal and pelvic alignment, relieving pressure on your nerves and joints, and enhancing your overall flexibility and comfort.
  
  At Haven Birth and Wellness, our chiropractic services are designed to provide holistic support, ensuring you experience a comfortable, healthy, and joyful journey through pregnancy and beyond. Your well-being is our priority, and we are here to provide expert care that supports your body's natural ability to adapt and thrive during these beautiful life stages.

  Ultrasounds enable the monitoring of fetal development, and provide a fascinating glimpse of your baby's early stages of life. At Haven Birth and Wellness, we are thrilled to offer this service, making your prenatal journey even more memorable and assuring as you prepare for the beautiful journey of parenthood.

What is the difference between the Midwifery Model of Care and the Obstetric Model of Care?

• The Midwifery Model of Care and the Obstetric Model of Care represent two distinct approaches to prenatal care and childbirth. At Haven Birth and Wellness, we champion the Midwifery Model, which emphasizes a holistic, personalized approach, supporting natural childbirth and continuous care throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. This model encourages family involvement and views childbirth as a natural process, providing a nurturing environment for both mother and baby.
  
  On the other hand, the Obstetric Model of Care is more medically oriented, often involving more routine interventions and monitoring during pregnancy and childbirth. This model tends to view childbirth through a medical lens, with a focus on identifying and managing potential complications.
  
  At Haven Birth and Wellness, we strive to provide a compassionate setting where expectant parents can experience a natural and supported childbirth, aligning with the core principles of the Midwifery Model of Care.
