Home care
All the services are made at home because pregnancy and childbirth are physiological events, so we feel more comfortable talking about everything that involves this process in a private and familiar place. Every woman has a different need, therefore, the services I provide are a suggestion. Still, no service is the same, it all depends on what you seek for your labor and childbirth experience. If you have any questions or suggestions, just let me know.
Childbirth Education
Information brings decision power. We can discover through the information what and how we want things to happen. It's always time to get informed, even if you are close to your due date. Each labor and childbirth is unique, none will be the same. The childbirth education helps the pregnant woman and her family to understand better the process of childbirth, to dismiss fear, and to empower yourself. It's also a great opportunity to plan the birth. All the information provided is based on scientific evidence.
Labor day
Labor is the work that the body does to be able to put out the baby that has been prepared for months. Basically what leads to the start of labor is a baby ready to finish forming its systems outside the womb, because there is no more room for that inside. It's a bit difficult to say when it happens, but what makes it happen is the release of hormones. These hormones are responsible for making the uterus contract and relax until it's possible for the baby to descend through the pelvis and dive out of the womb to meet its mother and family. Support in labor is for both, the woman and her family.
Postpartum support
Right after the baby is born, the woman releases a huge amount of oxytocin, this phenomenon makes her fall in love with the baby. At that moment begins the mother-baby bonding, so important for both of them. In the postpartum period, the body needs to recover from the months of pregnancy to heal the place where the placenta was inserted, the woman needs to adapt to the new rhythm of sleep and breastfeeding, and the baby needs to adapt to the world outside the womb.
To make all this happen more properly, she must have support to rest. A well-supported woman is much more likely to succeed in breastfeeding.
