Birth
We offer natural birth and waterbirth supported by experienced certified birth attendants. Our institution’s objective is birth of a child to happen as naturally as possible while providing all necessary equipment, carefully and deliberately preparing for birth in an intimate, homely environment. We want you to feel special and safe here. In this significant moment, we offer the families to be together in a place surrounded by a simple and beautiful natural landscape.
Safety – safe, ecologically arranged environment, qualified support. We collaborate with other healthcare providers as necessary.
Support – we provide full information, promote emotional well-being, support families in making adequate decisions, and take their own responsibility for their well-fare.
Experience around the World
Birth in premises specially arranged for that – birth homes – is very popular in several European countries. Switzerland was one of the first to offer such services. They are very popular also in United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany and some other countries. For instance, there are more than 60 birth homes, they have experience of 15 years providing their services.
Similar birth practices are popular also in Australia, USA and Canada. Serious attitude is supported by results of the study by journal “Midwifery and Woman’s Health”. Women were asked – why do you choose home birth? There are the most popular answers:
- safety,
- opportunity to avoid unnecessary medical interventions,
- adverse previous birth experience in hospital,
- more control,
- comfortable and family-oriented environment.
National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in United Kingdom study provided conclusion – home birth for low risk women is not associated with elevated with birth related mortality and morbidity, if necessary pregnancy care is provided – presence of experienced midwife, good transportation and coordination of necessary care.
World Health Organisation (WHO) standpoint: Low risk (healthy) women when guaranteed of appropriate support and plan of action for any situation are eligible to give birth at home.
