The Midwives Model of Care Approach

At Seven Cities Midwifery Care, we embrace The Midwives Model of Care, which is centered on supporting the natural processes of pregnancy and birth. This approach includes:

  • Holistic Monitoring: We carefully monitor the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the entire childbearing journey.

  • Personalized Care: Our team provides individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, along with continuous hands-on support during labor, delivery, and postpartum.

  • Minimal Interventions: We prioritize a low-intervention approach, respecting the natural progression of labor while being prepared to act when necessary.

  • Comprehensive Support: When needed, we identify and refer women to obstetrical care, ensuring all aspects of your health are covered.

This woman-centered model of care is designed to reduce the risk of birth injuries, trauma, and cesarean sections, creating a safer, more empowering birthing experience.

FAQ’s

  • Women choose home birth for a variety of reasons. A home birth with a licensed Certified Professional Midwife provides a safe and intimate birthing experience in the comfort of your home. In our experience, most women crave and desire a birthing experience that is rooted in respect, intimacy, and individualized care. Midwifery care in the home setting allows for this and so much more.

  • What is your practice’s philosophy?

    The team at Seven Cities Midwifery Care is based on physiological birth and The Midwives Model of Care. Both of these place the pregnant woman, the baby, and the process of birth at the center of prenatal care, labor and birth, and postpartum care. 

    Physiological birth is defined as: “A normal physiological labor and birth is one that is powered by the innate human capacity of the woman and fetus.” (J Perinat Educ. 2013 Winter; 22(1): 14-18. doi: 10.1891/1058-1243.22.1.14) The female body and fetus are equipped to organize and function optimally during these processes by utilizing neurochemicals, hormones, and physical mechanisms created by the human body for this event. Minimizing disruptions and guarding the birth space allows the mom and baby to work in tandem and reduce complications. 

    The Midwifery Model of Care(TM) is client-woman-centered and includes the following:
