Birth
Homebirth allows for full
participation of family members. Under the guidance and assistance of the
midwife, husbands or partners have an opportunity to "catch" their
child as it is born. These moments can be very powerful and transformational in
the lives of the new parents.
At homebirths, babies are usually
placed on the mom's stomach or breast immediately, providing security, warmth
and bonding between mom and baby. In the rare case in which the baby has
difficulty breathing on its own, midwives are fully trained in infant CPR.
Usually, putting the baby right to the breast and having mom talk to her baby
will encourage it to take those first breaths.
Putting the baby immediately to the
breast also helps reduce any bleeding the mom may have. The sucking action
stimulates the uterus and causes it to contract. This closes off blood vessels
and reduces bleeding.
After a hospital birth, things can
get very busy, with bright lights and many people carrying out procedures on
the baby. This can cause a baby to shut down or shy away from people.
At home, on the other hand, there
is time to be quiet, calm and peaceful. Those first moments are sacred-baby's
special bonding time with parents. A new baby wants only love and nurturing.
This early bonding allows the baby to relax and feel secure.
The mother's milk supply usually
comes on the third or fourth day after birth. Prior to that, the baby is
drinking a substance called colostrums, which has many antibodies to help fight
bacteria and build up the baby's immune system. It is also rich in vitamins and
protein. The midwife will offer counseling and support in getting started and
continuing to successfully breastfeed.
Some members of the medical
community have recently acknowledged that having a homebirth decreases the
mother's and baby's chances of contracting an infection. The mother is used to
the bacteria in her own environment and has built up immunities to it. This is
passed on to the baby through the colostrums. Even when women are segregated in
maternity wards, infections are much more common after hospital births than
homebirths.
One of the benefits of homebirth is
that after the birth and bonding time, mom and baby can be tucked into their
own bed to rest and sleep. The husband or partner sometimes joins them for rest
and deeper bonding.
After the baby is born, the midwife
is still accessible for information and support. This can be of great comfort
during the postpartum period when moms have questions or problems. The midwife
usually continues to check on the mother, baby and family for six weeks,
although some midwives continue to get calls for much longer. Some families and
midwives form lasting friendships.
