Homebirth

As midwives we trust in the nature of birth.  We believe that families will birth best in the place they feel most comfortable and safe.  For many families this place is home.  Home birth gives birthing families the ability to enjoy every phase of labor and birth in the privacy and comfort of their own home.

Waterbirth

To birth naturally in water is a tranquil experience for the mother, newborn and partner.  A way of birthing that promotes relaxation and comfort. 

Waterbirths give the mother greater mobility, which encourages widening of the pelvis and helps with the decent of the baby.  A potential benefit of a Waterbirth is decreased pain during labor; with relaxation, less adrenalin is produced, while beta-endorphin and oxytocin are increased. 

We at Sacred Waters believe that having a Waterbirth as a birth choice allows the newborn a gentle transition into the world.
