Us in 2013
The Inland Empire Home Birth Midwives are sponsoring Call the Midwife on PBS
Check out our sponsorship PBS Spot. A special thanks to our photographer Victoria Karalun of Canary Lane Photography who took all of the photos in the spot. And thanks a bunch to all of the families that brought babies for us to hold!
The Midwives Model of Care The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes.
The Midwives Model of Care includes:
- Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle
- Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support
- Minimizing technological interventions
- Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention
The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section.
