Health Foundations LLC

Description

Our mission is to provide an unparalleled level of compassionate, holistic, patient-centered, affordable care to women and their families through one of the most transformative and miraculous experiences of their lives.

It is important to talk with your partner about her expectations of you at the birth as well as what role you would like to play. The more the two of you have talked, the easier it will be to meet those expectations in labor and have the birth experience both of you envision. At Health Foundations, partners can be as involved in the birth process as they want. Some options to consider include: helping catch the baby and cutting the cord. Or if you’d prefer to leave all that to the professionals, that is fine too.

After your baby is born, we will ensure everyone is happy and healthy, then leave the new family alone for a chance to get to know each other and nurse. After a time we will return and offer to help mom up to the bathroom, assist her with a shower or bath to refresh herself (if sutures are needed, we will do this before the shower), then back to bed (or wherever mom is most comfortable). We provide a complete newborn physical to the baby (A head to toe assessment including: assessing heart, lungs, weight, and measurements.), dress him or her, and once again leave the family alone, while we do clean up and charting. Then we will say good bye after approximately 4 hours. The midwife or nurse will then be in touch with the family in the day following birth.

We view pregnancy and childbirth as a normal, healthy processes. Our goal is to empower you by helping you master the challenges of pregnancy and birth. In our model of care, the childbearing woman has the central role, and we provide the supervision and care.
