. . . the informed parent's resource

My birth class participants over the last 25 years show:
 

• 92% - delivered vaginally  -  08%  delivered by cesarean - of those:
   

• 60% - in-hospital birth - 35%  birth center birth - 05%  home birth

• 80% - of mothers used no medications ​   
  20% - of mothers used some medication

 

Natural Beginnings’ records show, of our clients with midwife attended births, (whether hospital, home, or birth center) 95% had vaginal births, and 97% of all midwife attended deliveries had no meds for labor or birth. Midwifery care lays the foundation for unmedicated labors & births.

​

Evidence shows ‘untrained birthing couples’ have an increased
incidence of interventions /medication use & higher cesarean rates.
