Therefore, a childbirth education class helps moms
and their partners learn about
and believe in the process, about how their bodies
and babies really instinctually know what to do, about
normalcy in
labor and birth, about the importance
of relaxation, about how to gain confidence
and find their inner strength.
Our responsibilities include review
of each woman's complete health history, physical examination findings,
and lab results to determine her eligibility for continued midwifery care
and homebirth, as well as ongoing evaluation
and guidance throughout pregnancy,
labor,
birth and postpartum with attention to signs
of normalcy and / or signs
of complications.
