During the time before birth, many decisions are to be made with health and safety at the top of the list. Prenatal care and nutritional changes become part of the experience.

At Homestead Natural Birth, we believe it is the right and responsibility of every prospective parent to make an informed choice for how, where and with whom they give birth, even when a change of plan becomes necessary.

The birthing woman is the expert, strengthened by faith. Midwives are known as the guardians of normal in homebirth and birth center. They are trained to assess complications, to determine the rare need for medical intervention and apply emergency skills when needed.  Mostly, however, the midwife assists and supports the mother's natural ability to give birth gently and calmly.

Every caring parent wishes the best for his/her children, from before birth through adulthood. We endeavor to provide on these pages a sampling of the more evidence-based family resources and homebirth or birth center choices.

Thank you for visiting the homestead!
