Home Birth
Home birth occurs when a woman labors and delivers a child
at home, rather than the labor and delivery ward of a hospital
or birthing center.
During labour and birth your contracted midwife cares for
you in your home.
You may choose to have a second midwife or an obstetrician/GP
attend the birth.
Your contracted midwife provides postnatal care in your
home.
Midwives must be accredited by a specific hospital if they
are to assist with your birth at that hospital.
Natural Alternatives to Birth Management and InterventionA variety of methods can be used
during natural childbirth to aid the mother.
Pain management techniques other than
medication include:
Hydrotherapy
Massage
Relaxation therapy
Hypnosis
Mindfulness Water birth Movement and different positions
(i.e. using a birthing ball) )
Breathing exercises
Hot and cold therapy (i.e. using hot compresses and/or cold
packs
Methods to augment labor without medication
include:
Changing positions frequently
Remaining in an upright position to increase pressure of
the baby on the cervix
Walking or going up and down stairs
Methods to avoid episiotomy:
Manage the perineum with counter-pressure [5].
Hot compresses
Pushing the baby out slowly
