Midwives are certified maternity care experts who de-medicalize labour and birth.
They encourage mobility, provide massages, specialize in hydrotherapy, aromatherapy and help you with various birthing positions. Your contractions are thus managed, and less external augmentation is needed.
Midwives offer perineal massage from 35 weeks of pregnancy. They guide you with exercises to help your pelvic floor muscles stretch.
This lessens the pressure and tension on the muscles and reduces the chance of extensive tears, thereby ensuring less perineal suturing.
Midwives reduce the likelihood of using medications to induce or increase your labour waves. They do this by implementing safe, evidence-based, non-pharmacological methods.
Their encouraging approach helps boost your inner strength and confidence. This helps you rely on your natural capabilities and avoid medical interventions
Instead of resorting to anaesthesia, Midwives support you to make informed choices related to non-medicalized, safe, pain-relief measures.
Midwives help you birth in positions of your choice. Their comforting measures are aimed at avoiding unnecessary medical interventions.
Midwives develop a comprehensive birth plan with you to optimize your health and wellbeing during pregnancy. As competent, skilled maternity care experts, they ensure regular monitoring of vital signs to evade any kind of risk or danger.
This minimizes your risk of needing a blood transfusion after birth.
Midwives handle labour, birth and the postpartum time with utmost patience and care. They recognize cases where continuous uterine massage will be an unnecessary intervention, thereby avoiding it when it is not needed.
Pain-relief measures administered by midwives are nonmedicalized, safe and immensely comforting. They can have long-term, positive effects on your health.
Stemming from the effectiveness of these measures is a deep sense of satisfaction and a more blissful birthing experience.
Midwives are trained to global standards to walk with you through every stage of pregnancy, labour, and birth. They strive to answer all your questions and keep your anxieties at bay.
This instils confidence in you and ensures that you are less anxious during labour.
Midwives focus on increasing comfort during pregnancy and childbirth, thus enhancing your innate coping ability.
They are clinically trained to help you manage pain through natural, evidence-based techniques. This reduces your dependency on painkillers.
