Prenatals
Prenatal visits may take place at
the midwife's home or clinic or at the family's home. The latter is especially comforting
for the family, as they are in their own surroundings and may be less hesitant
to ask questions and get involved. Prenatal visits are also a time for the
midwife to get to know the family and friends, neighbors or other children who
plan to be present at the birth. Midwives invite family members to ask
questions and listen to the baby's heartbeat. Intimate involvement of the
family throughout the pregnancy allows for early bonding of the newly emerging
family unit.
The midwife first interviews the
pregnant woman to determine whether a high-risk situation exists. Homebirth may
not be a viable option for everyone. A high-risk woman has certain medical
conditions or special needs. She may have diabetes or blood disorders. Women
having a VBAC and women carrying a baby in breech position or twins have
slightly increased risks but need not necessarily be ruled out for a homebirth.
If the midwife and family
determine that a high-risk situation exists or may develop, they decide whether
a homebirth is practical. This process is especially important for families in
rural areas many miles from a hospital. As midwives have varying levels of
experience, some are more comfortable than others in handling situations with
higher risk.
The midwife helps the whole family
prepare for the birth. Prenatal care for the pregnant woman commonly includes
discussing nutrition, exercise and overall physical and emotional well-being,
as well as overseeing the healthy development of the fetus. The midwife and
family often discuss the mechanics of birth. The more those involved know
what's going to happen, the more comfortable they will be while awaiting the
birth.
A birth plan (see Creating Your Birth Plan: The
Definitive Guide to a Safe and Empowering Birth)
designed at this time helps the family create a desired atmosphere. This may
include special music, candles, religious or cultural rituals, individuals in
attendance, which room in the home will be the birthing room, what kind of
support the mom desires, etc.
Birth is a well-designed process,
and most women can give birth easily by trusting themselves and their
practitioner.
