Go to https://scmidwife.com/ten-questions-to-ask-your-care-provider/ for more information. Or call us to schedule a free consultation with a midwife: 864-285-0574 Labors of Love Midwifery 1622 E. North St, Suite #8a Greenville, SC 29607 864-285-0574 First, you should learn as much as you can about all your choices. There are many different ways of caring for a mother and her baby during labor and birth. Birthing care that is better and healthier for mothers and babies is called “mother-friendly.” Some birth places or settings are more mother friendly than others. A group of experts in birthing care came up with this list of 10 things to look for and ask about. Medical research supports all of these things. These are also the best ways to be mother-friendly. When you are deciding where to have your baby, you’ll probably be choosing from different places such as: a birth center, hospital, or home birth service. Here’s what you should expect, and ask for, in your birth experience. Be sure to find out how the people you talk with handle these 10 issues about caring for you and your baby. You may want to ask the questions below to help you learn more. 1. “Who can be with me during labor and birth?” Mother-friendly birth centers, hospitals, and home birth services will let a birthing mother decide whom she wants to have with her during the birth. 2. “What happens during a normal labor and birth in your setting?” If they give mother-friendly care, they will tell you how they handle every part of the birthing process. 3. “How do you allow for differences in culture and beliefs?” Mother-friendly birth centers, hospitals, and home birth services are sensitive to the mother’s culture. 4. “Can I walk and move around during labor?" In mother-friendly settings, you can walk around and move about as you choose during labor. You can choose the positions that are most comfortable and work best for you during labor and birth. 5. “How do you make sure everything goes smoothly when my nurse, doctor, midwife, or agency need to work with each other?” Can my doctor or midwife come with me if I have to be moved to another place during labor? 6. “What things do you normally do to a woman in labor?” Mother-friendly settings only use methods that have been proven to be best by scientific evidence. 7. “Besides drugs, how do you help mothers relieve the pain of labor?" The people who care for you should know how to help you cope with labor. They should know about ways of dealing with your pain that don’t use drugs. They should suggest such things as changing your position, relaxing in a warm bath, having a massage and using music. 8. “What if my baby is born early or has special problems?” Mother-friendly places and people will encourage mothers and families to touch, hold, breastfeed, and care for their babies as much as they can. 9. “Do you circumcise baby boys?” Medical research does not show a need to circumcise baby boys. It is painful and risky. Mother friendly birth places discourage circumcision unless it is for religious reasons. 10. “How do you help mothers who want to breastfeed?” Do they tell all pregnant mothers why and how to breastfeed? They help you start breastfeeding within one hour after your baby is born. Newborns should have only breast milk.

It’s just easier and I got more sleep at night! When you breastfeed, it is always available to your baby, whether that’s a feed in the middle of the night, or in the middle of a road trip. When baby lets you know she’s hungry, you have a supply of perfectly-warmed milk, in adequate supply, with no waiting time required. 2. Money Saving Breastmilk is created by your body and only dependent on the food and water you consume, it costs nothing. Compared to the cost of formula alone, you could pay upwards of $3,000+ a year, not to mention bottles and other needed equipment. 3. Nutritional quality Not only is breastmilk balanced and perfect for all babies, but it’s also engineered for each baby – the formulation changes with baby’s age, and even in the presence of illness. 4. Bonding Life can be a hectic thing, and nobody knows that more than a busy mom. Every time you sit down to nurse your baby is a chance to catch your breath, look at your little one, and feel those hormones flowing! 5. Long term health benefits for mom and baby Long term health benefits of breastfeeding for baby include: significantly lower rates of gastrointestinal illnesses, a lowered risk of diabetes, childhood cancers and obesity, and a healthier immune system response to all the things that life throws their way.

Intentional Healthy Eating
Pregnant or not, it’s important to strive to get the highest nutrition we can in our daily food. Even
small changes can be beneficial. While there is no such thing as perfect, the following are some
guidelines to help give direction in your food choices. What foods you should eat depends on a
few things, including how healthy you are, how much you exercise and how much weight your
midwife recommends you gain during your pregnancy.
Generally, we recommend you consume 60-80g protein daily, and 90-150g carbs daily, from
a variety of sources.

nutritional needs vary. We recommend being carb-conscious, choosing the best sources to get

Prodromal Labor and Unmet Expectations
Labors of Love Midwifery1622 East North Street, Suite 8A
Greenville, SC 29607
864-285-0574
By definition, the word prodromal means the symptoms one experiences before the onset of the actual condition. During pregnancy, prodromal labor will include symptoms of labor (ex: mild to strong contractions) that unfortunately aren’t progressing into a active, productive labor pattern or significantly dilating the cervix.
What Does Prodromal Labor feel like?
Unlike Braxton Hicks contractions that most women experience during the latter half of pregnancy, which are generally mild, irregular, sometimes on only one part of the uterus, and do not become longer, stronger and closer together and can be stopped by rest, sleep, hydration and/or a warm bath or shower prodromal labor contractions feel more like labor contractions – they’re stronger and can’t be stopped by rest, sleep, hydration and/or a warm bath or shower. Prodromal labor contractions can be painful, in fact we often see pain out of proportion to the amount of dilation. This can take its toll on couples emotionally. Your expectations are not being met and you may question if I’m feeling this way now, how will I be able to cope with active labor. The truth is once everything is properly aligned, and labor is progressing you will manage much better. Prodromal contractions are usually felt low in the abdomen and groin.
Prodromal Labor or Early Labor?
Prodromal labor is a variation of early labor. The difference between prodromal labor and early labor is that the contractions of early labor most often start further apart and get longer, stronger and closer together but also dilate the cervix up to six centimeters. Prodromal labor may start with contractions strong and close together, but does not dilate the cervix.
The Emotional Side of Prodromal Labor
- Confused-this is not what we prepared for and were taught in our childbirth class
- Betrayed-why is my body not performing the way I thought it would
- Tired- I have lost a full night's sleep, how will I be able to go on?
- Fearful-will I be able to achieve my goals
- Frustrated-I am ready for this baby to come, my caregivers are not helping me make this happen
Signs and Symptoms of Prodromal Labor
If you are experiencing the following symptoms, you may be experiencing prodromal labor.
- Timeable contractions
- Contractions that are not getting longer, stronger and closer together
- Contractions that are very, very slowly getting longer, stronger and closer together
- Lack of significant cervical dilation
- Contractions that continue despite rest, hydration, bath and/or a shower
- Difficulty sleeping because of contractions
- Stronger than Braxton-Hicks contractions
How Long will Prodromal Labor Last?
Prodromal labor can last for days but not weeks.Because rest is priority number one but also extremely difficult to achieve, some women find success with a warm bath and a glass of wine OR Tylenol PM. Rest always trumps “trying to be in labor” unless there are other conditions which need consideration
Does Prodromal Labor Dilate the Cervix?
Prodromal labor can sometimes change the cervix (soften it or move it from a posterior to an anterior position) but does not produce contractions that become longer, stronger and closer together enough to significantly dilate the cervix and deliver a baby.
How to Cope with Prodromal Labor?
It may not be what you were expecting, but it will not last forever. You are progressing towards the birth of your baby.
- Be patient
- Practice relaxation techniques and remind yourself this is a variation of normal
- Distraction-watch a movie, go for a walk, play a game, read a novel
- Meditation
- Aromatherapy
- Massage
- Yoga
- Positive affirmations
- Visualization
- Swimming
- Dancing
- Be intimate
- Take a drive
Strategies to Overcome Prodromal Labor?
Most often, prodromal labor is a sign you and your baby are not aligned well. There is likely a restriction in a ligament, a subluxation in your spine or your pelvis has shifted as bit thereby not allowing the baby to have enough room to rotate into the birth outlet well. Two things are needed, good alignment and productive contractions.
As your midwife, I encourage you to spend your time and energy on resting, eating and drinking rather than on ways to speed up prodromal labor. However, the list below may be beneficial at the proper time.
- Chiropractic
- Acupuncture
- The Miles Circuit
- Spinning Babies
- Nipple stimulation
- Herbs
- Castor Oil or Enema
- Stripping Membranes

Why Home Birth With a Midwife in Greenville Looking for more info about using a Midwife in Greenville for your home birth? Go to http://laborsoflovebirthcenter.com for more information. Or call us to schedule a free consultation with a midwife: 864-285-0574 Labors of Love Midwifery 1622 E. North St, Suite 8a Greenville, SC 29607 864-285-0574 Homebirth allows for full participation of family members. Under the guidance and assistance of the midwife, husbands or partners have an opportunity to “catch” their child as it is born. These moments can be very powerful and transformational in the lives of the new parents. At homebirths, babies are usually placed on the mom’s stomach or breast immediately, providing security, warmth and bonding between mom and baby. In the rare case in which the baby has difficulty breathing on its own, midwives are fully trained in infant CPR. Usually, putting the baby right to the breast and having mom talk to her baby will encourage it to take those first breaths. Putting the baby immediately to the breast also helps reduce any bleeding the mom may have. The sucking action stimulates the uterus and causes it to contract. This closes off blood vessels and reduces bleeding. After a hospital birth, things can get very busy, with bright lights and many people carrying out procedures on the baby. This can cause a baby to shut down or shy away from people. At home, on the other hand, there is time to be quiet, calm and peaceful. Those first moments are sacred-baby’s special bonding time with parents. A new baby wants only love and nurturing. This early bonding allows the baby to relax and feel secure. The mother’s milk supply usually comes on the third or fourth day after birth. Prior to that, the baby is drinking a substance called colostrum, which has many antibodies to help fight bacteria and build up the baby’s immune system. It is also rich in vitamins and protein. The midwife will offer counseling and support in getting started and continuing to successfully breastfeed. Some members of the medical community have recently acknowledged that having a homebirth decreases the mother’s and baby’s chances of contracting an infection. The mother is used to the bacteria in her own environment and has built up an immunity to it. This is passed on to the baby through the colostrum. Even when women are segregated in maternity wards, infections are much more common after hospital births than homebirths. One of the benefits of homebirth is that after the birth and bonding time, mom and baby can be tucked into their own bed to rest and sleep. The husband or partner sometimes joins them for rest and deeper bonding. After the baby is born, the midwife is still accessible for information and support. This can be of great comfort during the postpartum period when moms have questions or problems. The midwife usually continues to check on the mother, baby and family for six weeks, although some midwives continue to get calls for much longer. Some families and midwives form lasting friendships.

With a natural birth you have the freedom to move, which is a great thing! Movement during labor is your friend. Gravity is helping you bring baby down and the more you move, the sooner you will have your baby. With a natural birth you have more control over your birth, which allows more options to be available to you, which allows you to be more of a participant in your labor. You will then have many different options to relieve discomfort/pain during labor available to you, like massage, counter-pressure, hydrotherapy, hypnotherapy, music, movement, visualizations, different positions like the birth ball or walking the halls, hot and cold therapy, you name it! Walking, rocking, squatting, or changing positions help your baby to descend and speed up your labor. When you feel that it’s time to push, you also push a lot better and faster which makes your pushes more effective because you can feel the urge of where to push. Giving birth has an impression of pain to people, making some mothers feel nervous about it. The thought of operating rooms also adds to the anxiety of pregnant mothers. With birthing centers like labors of love birth center you can experience a more calming and peaceful childbirth.

North St, Suite 8a Greenville, SC 29607 864-285-0574 Countless mothers out there choose water birth and have a positive experience. That’s because they enjoy advantages like decreased labor period, no need for epidurals, and mobility in the tub. These simple things make the experience worthwhile. If epidurals are not used, the mother will be left with more energy and a wonderful feeling after giving birth. Some research also suggests that newborn infants whose mothers used an epidural may have trouble in successful suckling during the first few days of their life, so taking the drug out of the equation would eliminate such risks. One gift that a woman has is the ability to bring life into this world. Nervousness and excitement blends together for every mother. The beauty of childbirth is a moment we must cherish and nurture. It reminds us about the importance of celebrating life. Labors of Love Birth Center gives an authentic experience of childbirth for all mothers.

Go to http://laborsoflovebirthcenter.com for more information. Labors of Love Midwifery and Birth Center 1622 E. North St, Suite 8a Greenville, SC 29607 864-285-0574 The biggest reason to investigate natural childbirth and to educate yourself, is so that your baby can avoid having unnecessary and potentially dangerous medications that will pass through his/her system when you use pain medications. By avoiding pain medications your baby will be born more alert and more active than babies that have been exposed to pain medications. Do you want less risks for you and your baby? Using other pain medications during labor (such as Nubain, Demerol, Stadol, etc.) comes with risks. Pain medications can lower your blood pressure as well as your baby’s, can cause respiratory depression for both mom and baby, can slow down your labor, and can make you feel nauseous or dizzy. Using medications during labor adds risks that are not otherwise present in birth. Having a natural birth decreases your chances and removes a lot of these issues. Do you want a more satisfying birth experience? Most women are thrilled to see their new babies, no matter how their baby was born. I am all about women having the birth that they want, no matter what choices they make because it’s all about them and their baby. I will say though, women who have natural childbirths often report feeling more satisfied and happy with their birth experience. With this it also has been proven to reduce their chances of having postpartum depression. Do you want to be free to move? Walking, rocking, squatting, or changing positions help your baby to descend and speed up your labor. When you feel that it’s time to push, you also push a lot better and faster which makes your pushes more effective because you can feel the urge of where to push.

Or call us to schedule a free consultation with a midwife: 864-285-0574 Labors of Love Midwifery and Birth Center 1622 E. North St, Suite 8a Greenville, SC 29607 864-285-0574 A HUGE reason to try for a natural childbirth is so that your baby can avoid having unnecessary and potentially dangerous medications pass through his/her system. By avoiding pain medications your baby will be born more alert and more active than babies that have been exposed to pain medications. Do you want less risks for you and your baby? Even though serious complications from epidurals are extremely rare, they can happen. Likewise, using other pain medications during labor (such as Nubain, Demerol, Stadol, etc.) also comes with risks. Pain medications can lower your blood pressure as well as your baby’s, can cause respiratory depression for both mom and baby, can slow down your labor, and can make you feel nauseous or dizzy. Using medications during labor adds risks that are not otherwise present in birth. Having a natural birth decreases your chances and removes a lot of these issues. Do you want a more satisfying birth experience? Most women are thrilled to see their new babies, no matter how their baby was born. I am all about women having the birth that they want, no matter what choices they make because it’s all about them and their baby. I will say though, women who have natural childbirths often report feeling more satisfied and happy with their birth experience. With this it also has been proven to reduce their chances of having postpartum depression. Do you want to be free to move? Walking, rocking, squatting, or changing positions help your baby to descend and speed up your labor. When you feel that it’s time to push, you also push a lot better and faster which makes your pushes more effective because you can feel the urge of where to push.

North St, Suite 8a Greenville, SC 29607 864-285-0574 Countless mothers out there choose water birth and have a positive experience. That’s because they enjoy advantages like decreased labor period, no need for epidurals, and mobility in the tub. These simple things make the experience worthwhile. If epidurals are not used, the mother will be left with more energy and a wonderful feeling after giving birth. Some research also suggests that newborn infants whose mothers used an epidural may have trouble in successful suckling during the first few days of their life, so taking the drug out of the equation would eliminate such risks. One gift that a woman has is the ability to bring life into this world. Nervousness and excitement blends together for every mother. The beauty of childbirth is a moment we must cherish and nurture.

Mejor alivio del dolor es un parto natural con una partera en Greenville SC
Mejor alivio del dolor es un parto natural con una partera en Greenville SC
Mejor alivio del dolor es un parto natural con una partera en Greenville SC
El mejor alivio del dolor es un parto natural con una partera en Greenville SC
Pero aquí encontrarás todas las opciones disponibles para aliviar el dolor durante el parto
La entrega se considera de manera apropiada como una experiencia increíblemente incómoda e insoportable para muchas madres, y también para algunas mujeres el trabajo de parto es rápido y también bastante rápido, para otras puede convertirse en una experiencia real. Donde nuestras abuelas tuvieron que pasar por el obstáculo de la incomodidad esencialmente solo, hay varias opciones ofrecidas para hoy
- Piscina de nacimientos
Permanecer en el agua durante el inicio del parto podría aliviar significativamente la incomodidad del estiramiento en algunas mujeres, ya que la flotación elimina parte del estrés causado por la reducción de la masa muscular de la espalda. A algunas mujeres les gusta permanecer en el agua durante las últimas etapas del parto, y algunas también eligen terminar el parto en un grupo de nacimiento.
Los grupos de partos se han vuelto progresivamente prominentes en los últimos tiempos, ya que se los considera un método completamente natural para disminuir las molestias, de acuerdo con la opción actual de mantener los puntos claros y también lo más cerca posible de la naturaleza.
- TENS
Un dispositivo TENS es una pequeña herramienta digital que se adhiere a su espalda reducida con almohadillas de electrodos. El equipo pasa una corriente eléctrica extremadamente suave con las almohadillas, que se planea para interrumpir los signos de incomodidad, disminuyendo el nivel de dolor. El grado de corriente podría mejorarse normalmente durante el ajuste, luego el retroceso se reduciría a medida que desaparece la incomodidad. Algunas mujeres colocan el equipo TENS como extremadamente confiable, mientras que para otras el impacto es muy pequeño. En general, las herramientas se pueden utilizar desde el centro de salud, pero son razonablemente económicas de comprar por su cuenta si tiene la intención de asegurarse de que se ofrecerán.
- Gas y aire
Esto también se conoce como entonox, y también es una combinación de gas de la risa y también oxígeno que se inhala a través de un tubo cada vez que la futura madre realmente siente el requerimiento. Es un enfoque extremadamente ligero para aliviar las molestias, y también es suficiente para algunas mujeres, específicamente en partos simples. El resultado es una interrupción aún mayor de la incomodidad en comparación con una disminución real, sin embargo, no incluye los inconvenientes de los medicamentos para aliviar el malestar aún más duraderos que se enumeran a continuación.
- Epidural
Una epidural es una inyección de medicamento para aliviar la incomodidad que conduce al área posterior, y también es muy confiable para obstruir la incomodidad. La primera inyección debe ser realizada por un profesional médico, aunque los títulos médicos podrían ser cubiertos por la partera por el tiempo que sea necesario. La epidural temprana también alteró el movimiento, por lo tanto, todo el parto debe lograrse relajándose, sin embargo, las variaciones avanzadas del abuso de sustancias actualmente le permiten a la madre caminar un poco para aliviar el dolor.
- Petidine
Esta es la alternativa de alivio de malestar más dura que se ofrece en muchos casos, y es excepcionalmente confiable para aliviar la incomodidad por un período de 3 a 4 horas. A diferencia de una epidural, no se puede usar para siempre, y solo se permiten 2 dosis, lo que sugiere que es mucho menos que la perfecta para trabajos más largos en comparación con 8 horas o dos. El medicamento también puede viajar al bebé, en muchos casos posponiendo el comienzo de la respiración. Sin embargo, es necesario que los remedios estén disponibles para que esto ocurra.
Aunque la selección que utiliza el enfoque de alivio de malestar generalmente se deja a la madre
