Water Births
Experience a calmer, more peaceful birth without pressure, intervention or stress. “Waterdural” as we call it truly helps ease the pressure and tightness of the hips and lower back therefore assisting labor to progress with a mother’s intuition. Women have been birthing for thousands of years. We trust this process with professional guidance, patience, compassion and love.
Some Benefits for Mother
Warm water is soothing, comforting, relaxing. Parents are not stressed or worried about their surroundings.
In the later stages of labor, the water has been shown to increase the woman’s energy.
The effect of buoyancy lessens a mother’s body weight, allowing free movement and new positioning. Buoyancy promotes more efficient uterine contractions and improved blood circulation resulting in better oxygenation of the uterine muscles, less discomfort for the mother, and more oxygen for the baby. Immersion in water often helps lower high blood pressure caused by anxiety. Since the water provides a greater sense of privacy, it can reduce inhibitions, anxiety, and fears.
For Baby the water provides an environment similar to the amniotic sac. Eases the stress of the birth transition thus increasing reassurance and sense of security. Entering the World with calm and tenderness.
Every birthworker at HSPBC is “waterbirth” certified. Even our medical director.
VBAC in the hosptial- Our wonderful Medical Director has been helping women with Successful VBAC’s for years! If cleared, you can see the midwives throughout pregnancy, and birth across the street with our Doctor who is patient and cares!
Medical Care Is Minutes Away
HSPBC is the ONLY South Florida Birth Center which is located directly across the street from a hospital, Jackson South hospital for safety. Our birth center is under the direction of our Board Certified OB/GYN of 35 years.
Most families have some concerns about the “what if’s” so we have taken the safety measure out and still have the beautiful space for mothers to labor with love and tranquility. Our hospital is friendly to our mothers, and with our birth friendly physician that “continuity of care” is very important when necessary. Our medical director is always available for medical assistance at HSPBC and/or the hospital. This is so important just in case mom or baby needs assistance. A car ride is not okay, we have 911 behind us so our continuity of care is there for you!
Guided By Midwives
Total holistic care including women’s wellness for life, prenatal, labor/birthing and postpartum family support. We have resources and discount rates for acupuncture, massage, nutritional support, chiropractic care, & offer breastfeeding support right from the start!
Midwives who work with HSPBC are trained in Holistic care! They guide rather than direct and allow for mothers to experience their own feelings throughout the birth process. Mothers do not need to “learn how to birth” as it is instinctual. Your birth workers are attending, assiting and monitoring with close mother-baby observation together with suggestions if and when needed.
We do Compassion, We do Patience, We do Love!
At Holistic South Pregnancy & Birth Center our families choose a safe out of hospital-natural birth experience. Come in and enjoy a peaceful pregnancy and loving birth.
Women have been birthing for thousands of years! Trust birth, we do.
