Birth with Liz

Midwifery services in Oregon's Mid-Valley

Home Birth Home birth is very likely the best option for low-risk mothers. At a home birth, you are free to be as active as you would like, rest when you're tired, go out into nature, eat and drink as you feel the need. Your midwife is a guest in your home. Many mothers are more comfortable laboring and birthing at home, on their own turf, and are better able to relax and handle labor when they're in a familiar setting. Home birth mothers avoid many unnecessary interventions that they may have experienced in a hospital setting. Planning to birth at home, with the hospital available should we need to transport, helps ensure that medical intervention will be saved for when it is necessary and appropriate.
