The Hill Country Birth & Wellness™ is aprofoundly different approach than contemporary approach to pregnancy and childbirth. Midwifery practice prior to, during and after birth is compassionate, hands-on care. Midwives are health care providers who build a trusting relationship with their patients, specializing in pregnancy and childbirth, resulting in trust supported labor and birth. While there are different types of midwives practicing in various settings, all midwives are trained to provide comprehensive prenatal care and education, guide labor and birth, address complications, and care for newborns. The Hill Country Birth & Wellness™ is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life events. The Midwives Model of Care includes:
- monitoring the physical, psychological and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle
- providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support
- minimizing technological interventions and
- identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention.
