Oh Wow
At my prenatal yoga class this week I was complaining about not being able to do water birth in a hospital setting, and one of the other moms suggested I check out Homestyle Midwifery, a midwives’ practice that operates in conjunction with a local hospital. It looks perfect. You go to the hospital, so you have access to anesthesia, and all the doctors and the neonatal unit are right there in case of complications, but they create a “birthing center” type environment for your labor, complete with an Aqua Doula tub.
I’m super excited about this group! We’ll go to their next open house, and if they turn out to be as great as they look, I’ll transfer over to them as quick as possible. This looks like exactly what I was hoping for from a birth environment!
