Trillium Midwifery Care

At Trillium Midwifery Care we believe and trust in the normal, yet sacred, process of pregnancy and birth.  Not only is birth the most powerful and transformative time in a woman’s life, it is also a normal physiological process that a woman’s body is exquisitely designed for.  Left to nature, trust and love, we believe that almost every birth will proceed without unnecessary interventions.

Our philosophy is rooted in our belief and desire to provide you and your family with individualized family-centered care using evidence based practices. What is truly at the heart of homebirth midwifery care is the trusting, loving relationship we build during our prenatal time together. When it comes time for your baby’s birth, you and your family will know the Trillium team very well and we will know your desires for birth.

We will strive to make your care family centered and holistic to meet your individual needs. We strongly believe that pregnancy and birth are times of powerful family and relationship growth and deep change. We encourage your whole family and birth team to be involved in your prenatal care. We will do our best to integrate your team into the birth day celebration. It is of paramount importance that the mother/infant bond at birth be as undisturbed as possible to facilitate successful breastfeeding, early attachment parenting and confident mothering and fathering.

Most importantly we believe wholeheartedly in the safety of homebirth for almost all mothers. After an initial health screening we determine together the suitability of homebirth for you and your family. Of course we encourage a healthy lifestyle, excellent nutrition and good prenatal care. If a mother is healthy with no preexisting health concerns, homebirth is an excellent choice for a safe and satisfying birth experience. You can find several links to some excellent homebirth studies that validate the safety of homebirth.
