Benefits home birth

As obstetrical care in the United States has become more and more interventive and impersonal, expecting ladies and their loved ones are increasingly rediscovering the midwifery model of assistance. Throughout the world, including those nations with the best results for both mother and child, such as the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Ireland, and New Zealand, midwives like Darla Torrez provide primary care to the vast majority of mamas and their newborns.

The midwife silently checks the progress of labor and the health of her child, stays by her side, safeguarding the flow of a new life right into the world.

This is what homebirth has to offer and where Darla Torrez helps with.
