Giving birth WHERE and WITH WHOM you chose
is not only your choice ... it is your RIGHT!
Your baby has the RIGHT to be safely,
gently and lovingly borne.
Pregnancy, childbirth & breastfeeding are normal, natural
states of body, mind and spirit for the healthy mother.
The procreative and nurturing act of becoming a mother
is a central and life-changing event in the life of a woman.
The Midwife honors this event with humble respect.
The Midwife offers assistance and guidance throughout the
childbearing years as a counselor, birth attendant, and friend.
She is a skilled specialist in attending normal births, giving care
and advice to the mother in pregnancy, labor and childbirth,
and care for the mother and newborn following delivery.
She is co-responsible, with the parents, for safe-guarding
the course of events and, to the best of her ability and
skills, ensures safe passage for both mother & baby.
A Midwife is able to detect abnormalities in mother or child
referring to & obtaining medical aid, while providing
quick and appropriate care to mother, child or both.
She is trained in emergency health care management
and in life-saving skills and techniques; and she
shall utilize such measures when necessary.
She maintains a respect for the integrity of the birthing family
and the naturally, bestowed ability of a woman to give birth.
Out of respect for the birthing process, the Midwife believes that
unnecessary interference is an unwise interruption of the
body’s function and seeks to avoid disruption and intentional
manipulation of this normal, bodily process.
The Midwife carefully watches and guides, assisting the family in
the way that is of their choosing, respecting the sacredness of
the family, their personal choices, their spiritual beliefs,
their privacy & their unique birthing right of passage.
The pregnant form is a work of supreme art.
Rounded, curvaceous and voluptuous in its fullness...
Beautiful, lovely, and delightfully abundant.
Midwives honor the Goddess of Life in all women,
the spiritual, intertwined with the physical.
