Home birth

Home birth care is continuous, personalised and holistic, centred on the woman and her family, throughout pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, right up to the baby's first month of life.

These consultations are privileged moments to talk about:

  • healthy pregnancy (diet, exercise...)
  • planning the birth (plan A, B and C)
  • labour at home
  • breastfeeding
  • baby care | baby's needs
  • life with a baby
  • needs of the "new" family

 

Two Maternal Health and Obstetrics Nurse Specialists (MHENs)/Nurse Midwives from the team will, in partnership, accompany the pregnant woman very closely throughout her pregnancy. During the consultations, they will monitor the pregnancy and prepare for labour and the postpartum period. 

Labour and delivery are accompanied by the two EHEAs, who will also remain at home to monitor the mother and baby throughout the immediate postpartum period, providing all the necessary support.

In the postpartum period, there are two home visits for a full assessment of mum and baby, health education on various topics relevant to this stage, breastfeeding support, the baby's foot test, assessment of the baby's vital signs and weight, assessment of the mother's vital signs, blood loss, uterine involution, perineum, and more.

Continuous support via telephone and WhatsApp throughout pregnancy and postpartum until the baby's first month of life.
