Apple Tree Births aims to provide parents with confidence to make the decisions about their care without duress or bias. It is a core belief that being allowed to pursue a birth in the comfort of your own home surrounded by loved ones not only sets babies up for success but mothers and the family as a whole. Respecting the natural process when it is working and intervening when it is not.
Why should you choose a midwife?
The Midwifery Model of Care is built upon the following principles
1.) Mother Centered Individualized Continuous Care for pregnancy, birth and Postpartum.
2.) Mother - Midwife partnered decision Making
3.) Normalizing and optimizing the uninterrupted or unmediated physiological, biological and cultural process that is pregnancy, birth and postpartum
4.) The use of evidence based interventions only when necessary.
Mother centered care is built on two pillars. That is ongoing education and ongoing consent. The midwifery model recognizes the mother as capable of making informed decisions for herself and her baby and prioritizes providing well rounded education to the mother on all recommendations for monitoring the health of the mother baby diad. The midwifery model of care recognizes that consent is constantly ongoing and can be recanted at any time. Midwives pride themselves on prioritizing verbal communication and consent for all procedures provided to the mother throughout her care. We recognize that not all procedures and recommendations are right for every family and honor the mothers ability to take charge of her care and request or deny any procedures or interventions the midwife may have to offer her. The Midwifery focus is to priced up to date evidence based education to all families especially in regards to the uninterrupted and unmediated processes of pregnancy, birth, postpartum and breastfeeding. By providing this education on the natural physiological process mothers and families can be empowered to trust their bodies when everything is operating as it should and to seek higher care when everything is not. To quote the NCOM “every woman deserves a midwife and some will need a doctor”.
