When pregnant women are aware of their options for

When pregnant women are aware of their options for giving birth they become empowered. One of the reasons so many women choose Haven Midwifery and Birthing Centers is because of the great number of options we offer. We want the women we work with to know their options. When having a traditional birth in a hospital, there aren’t many options available. When you decide to work with Haven Midwifery and Birthing Centers you have the option of either of our two birthing centers, including the new Haven Valley Center, or home birth. In our centers and at home we also give the option of a water birth. While we can’t promise everything will go exactly as planned, we make every accommodation to give you the best experience possible.

One of the most common questions we get at Haven M

One of the most common questions we get at Haven Midwifery and Birthing Center is about traveling while pregnant. How safe is it to travel while expecting?

In general, traveling while pregnant is safe. Most airlines will allow pregnant women to fly as long as they are 36 weeks or under. However, if you are planning on flying one of the first things you should do is talk to your healthcare provider. Since each pregnancy is different, there are different safety levels for each case.

One thing to consider is how comfortable you will be while traveling. If you are going to be extremely uncomfortable, probably avoid traveling if possible.

Some things to look out for, if you do decide to travel, are severe headaches, extreme swelling, contractions, and spotting or bleeding. If you experience any of these, call your healthcare provider right away.

The health of you and your baby is the most important thing while pregnant, so make sure you travel safely.

At Haven Midwifery we believe in letting labor and

At Haven Midwifery we believe in letting labor and delivery progress naturally. There are ways to help speed along labor though. These methods are regularly used by our midwives and can be a great help to laboring women.

Walking and moving around can help to sleep up the process. Especially if the woman goes from laying down to getting up and walking, the extra pressure on the cervix can help it to dilate faster.

A birthing ball is great for pain relief, as well as helping the labor process. Sitting or rocking on these can encourage your cervix to dilate. These balls are available in both of our birthing centers.

Relaxing as much as possible helps with dilation. When you are stressed the tension can make it difficult for dilation. Using stress relieving techniques can make the process faster and more comfortable.

Haven Midwifery offers comprehensive and individua

Haven Midwifery offers comprehensive and individualized prenatal care. This care is extremely important for you and your growing baby. The main goal of prenatal care is to keep both the mother-to-be and the baby as healthy as possible.

Prenatal care can be a big help in reducing the risk of pregnancy complications. If any issue is to arise, it can be caught and dealt with by your healthcare provider.

Prenatal care reduces the risk of your baby being born prematurely.

High-quality prenatal care promotes the healthy development of your growing and developing baby. A healthy baby and a healthy mother lead to a happy, healthy family. Make sure you’re getting the healthcare you and your baby need.

When you’re pregnant your body will give you sig

When you’re pregnant your body will give you signs or clues that labor is coming soon. Haven Midwifery has compiled a list of signs to look out for that indicate that labor is arriving.

- You can breathe easier- As the baby descends towards the birth canal, pressure is relieved from your lungs and women describe being able to breathe easier.
- Weight gain slows- As your baby reaches its birth weight, weight gain slows as both mom and baby get ready for birth.
- Sudden urge to organize everything- Known as “nesting”, if you’re suddenly organizing labor is probably getting close.
- Cramping or contractions- These are definite signs your body is readying itself for labor and birth.
- Your water breaks- This doesn't happen to everyone before labor. For some women, their water has to be broken by their healthcare expert, or it happens once labor has commenced.
- Back pain- Known as “back labor”, back pain can be caused by the contracting of muscles in and around your back.

If you’re in your third trimester and playing the waiting game, waiting for your baby to come, look for these signs and you’ll know your baby is coming soon.

Many of our mothers-to-be ask who they should have

Many of our mothers-to-be ask who they should have at their birth. The answer is- whoever you want. We suggest having those at your birth that can assist you and help you through your labor and delivery. Some mothers want a very private birth, with just their partner and midwife. Others want certain members of their family there. With Haven Midwives and Birthing Center, we do birth your way. The choice is yours as to where, how, and who is present at your labor and delivery. Contact us today to learn more about our midwifery services.

Postpartum care is not only about your newborn. A

Postpartum care is not only about your newborn. As a new mother, you need to be taking care of yourself and your body as well. At Haven Midwifery we want our new mothers to be as supported and comfortable as possible. One of the ways we do this is by educating about the prevention of postpartum infections. Prevention is easier than dealing with an infection.

Avoiding excessive walking and exercise right after giving birth is recommended to prevent infections. Regularly cleaning and changing your bedding also helps to keep infections at bay. At the postpartum checkups, we will ask you about any challenges and questions, so feel free to ask us anything about what may be going on with your body. We’re here to help you.

As perfect as your newborn is, they probably don’t have a perfectly round head for the first couple of weeks after birth. This is because our skulls are made up of pieces, not a solid bone. These pieces slide over each other during labor and delivery to get down the birth canal easier. In the weeks after birth, these pieces will move back into place and your baby’s head will get a more round shape. Contact us at Haven Midwifery if you have any questions or concerns about your baby’s head after birth. We’re happy to answer any and all of our client's questions.

At Haven Midwifery and Birthing Center, we encoura

At Haven Midwifery and Birthing Center, we encourage women to make a birth plan. This plan is basically how you want your labor and delivery to go. A birth plan gives our midwives a good idea of what you want. We do everything we can to follow this plan, but each labor and delivery is different and they don’t always go as planned. The ultimate goal is to safely deliver a healthy baby. A birth plan can help to empower you in your journey. Labor and delivery is a very individual journey and we want to do it your way, as much as possible.

Braxton-Hicks contractions can be a little mislead

Braxton-Hicks contractions can be a little misleading, especially if you’re a first-time mom. Many women have had these contractions and thought it was early labor contractions. These contractions are contractions of the uterus that occur in the second or third trimester of pregnancy. They can easily be mistaken for labor, but they are just your body’s way of getting prepared for labor. Braxton-Hicks have been described as uncomfortable but not painful, like mild menstrual cramps. These contractions usually only last for 15-30 seconds, and do not get more intense, as labor contractions do. If you have any questions about the contractions you’re feeling, call your healthcare provider.

Headaches are a common complaint during pregnancy.

Headaches are a common complaint during pregnancy. They can occur for a variety of reasons such as dehydration, low blood sugar, poor sleep, or even stress. When you get a headache while pregnant it’s a reminder to take it easy on your body. Make sure you drink plenty of water and get proper rest. A head and neck massage can work wonders to ease your headache. Call your healthcare provider if you’re getting headaches frequently.
