Giving birth in a less medicalised environment: midwife’s practice or birth centre
A midwife’s practice (often called birth centre) provides an option to give birth in a less medicalised, cosier environment without having to stay at home.
Preparing for birth in a midwife’s practice /birth centre:
The personal care provided by your midwife or a small team of midwives already commences during pregnancy. As a consequence you already know the midwife / midwives who are with you during birth and for postpartum care well before the onset of labour.
As with home birth, a low-risk pregnancy is a condition for out-of-hospital birth. If complications arise during delivery, women are moved to a hospital. Often there are close cooperations between miwife’s practices/birth centres and the hospitals in their proximity.
If you consider giving birth at a midwife’s practice or birth centre, it is essential to get in contact as soon as possible. Your midwife can then offer further advice, taking into consideration your wishes and needs. With our Midwife search you can get an overview of the midwifery services near-by with only a few clicks:
