Companionship during Labor & Birth

Labor is a unique, and usually empowering, time in a woman's life. Women need to know that they are in a "Safe", even "Sacred" Space to focus on the work of the body to bring forth in childbirth. Women need to be surrounded by people that are devoted to her good, that can be trusted.
This can be a special time that the baby's father can be involved, as a strong, loving companion and advocate. The big benefit for his work is great bonding with his family!
Women may desire a trusted friend or professionally trained Doula (labor companion) to help physically and emotionally with the work of labor.
Women will go through many changes during this "work" of childbirth as the midwife continues to assess and assist her during this time. The compassion and fortitude of her midwife helps her navigate this time in safety and peaceful assurance. Midwives do not use medications to induce, or hurry labor. They use time-honored, research indicated, methods of comforting and strengthening, women, knowing and trusting that a woman's strong, intuitive body can facilitate birth.
Just when the woman feels she has no strength to continue, her body responds to bring forth new life! This experience prepares her and her husband to bond more readily with their child. And the baby trusts Mom and Dad, knowing "this is my Family, my protection"!
