Why I would want Shadowed Midwifery Support

A home birth and/or birth center experience may not be everyone’s choice/decision/or option, but informative care is! There are many families whose risk factors will not allow them the autonomy to choose an out of hospital experience during their childbearing cycle. That’s when you would want to seek out Shadowed Midwifery Support

What is Shadowed Midwifery Support

Shadowed Midwifery Support (SMS) is when a Licensed Midwife is hired to be a personal guide, while navigating through the Medical Care system during the childbearing cycle.

What does the Midwife do? 

While you are in care during your pregnancy, the Midwife will ensure that you are receiving the details of your care, being provided with evidence based information instead of fear based information, education on ways that may decrease risk factors, realistic ways to help you remain as low risk as possible, teach you how to advocate for yourself in any environment, get as close to your birth plan as possible, accessible labor support, and play an active role in your care. There is much more that comes along with this support!

What’s the benefit of VBAC Support from a Midwife?

A Midwife's focused education on VBAC specifics, personalized guidance, and emotional support empowers women with comprehensive knowledge, tailored strategies, and continuous encouragement, significantly increasing the likelihood of successfully achieving a Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC). Their specialized expertise fosters confidence, informed decision-making, and a deeper understanding of the physical and emotional aspects unique to VBAC, enhancing a woman's readiness and empowerment throughout the birthing process.
