The suites have a home-like feel with access to medical help nearby if needed.
For some expecting mothers, natural physiologic birth may seem scary due to limited access to medical intervention., providing mothers a space to give natural birth in a home-like environment with hospital equipment right around the corner.
McKimmey previously worked as an out-of-hospital midwife delivering babies in home or in birthing centers. Expecting mothers wanting to use the low-intervention spaces are not required to go through the midwifery program. “We don’t do water birth, but they can deliver in any position or any space in those low-intervention rooms. We have a lot of moms that deliver on their hands and knees or in a squat. We have a birthing stool that we utilize. There’s a lot more freedom of movement,” compared to a hospital bed, McKimmey said.
“This was my third baby and the first time I had a birthing tub,” she said. “It was a good tool for helping me through contractions—it helped take the weight off. I literally mean that, like being in the warm water helped take the weight of the baby bump and my own body weight off so I could just focus on relaxing, breathing calmly, and letting my mind picture my body pulling open so I could meet my baby.
