Choosing Between a Hospital and a Birth Center

Hospital or birth center birth
Posted on November 20, 2018 by Kate Kummer
Though the United States spends more on healthcare than any other developed country, outcomes for maternal and neonatal services are worse. Rates for premature births and cesarean rates are steadily increasing over recent years, as is the price for such services. We are strong advocates for birthing with a midwife and doula in a birth…Read more …

Hello, sweet one! We’re so glad you’re here! Hello, sweet one! We’re so glad you’re here!  #firstbaby #firsttimemom #sweetiepie #wasatchmidwifery #utahbirthcenter #midwife
Well, this storm is a good one! And we have been h Well, this storm is a good one! And we have been hunkered down in the center, and welcomed another baby in the wee hours this morning! Yay for blizzards and first time parents doing so well!  We’re kind of like the post office when it comes to catching babies- through snow, ice, wind, rain, earthquakes- we keep going. Babies seem to love inclement weather!  As you can see from Jane’s tracks, it’s deep. That said, please, please:  Take it easy out there, go slow if you have to go out, better yet, have some hot chocolate and stay home!  If you do have an appointment today, we will be reaching out to reschedule things because we have declared it a “snow day!” We will see how things look later to try to still do our ultrasound appointments, so stay tuned!  #snowday #greatestsnowonearth #utah #utahbirthcenter #midwives #wegotthis #wasatchmidwifery #wekeepgoing
Ok! We have two photos, taken only hours apart fro Ok! We have two photos, taken only hours apart from each other today. And this really demonstrates exactly what can happen in a matter of mere hours in this line of work.  One is me in total relaxation mode on a beach in Mexico just earlier today, and the other is me back to the clinic after a very exciting and very fast homebirth tonight. Whew!  The most striking thing about this story is that it actually happens ALL OF THE TIME!  The times I have literally gotten off a flight from Europe, New York, California, Canada, heck even the Middle East- and went straight to catching a baby are too numerous to count.  I don’t know how it happens, but it does. The babies wait. The parents wait. The midwife returns and BOOM here we are!  I’m totally flattered, but we can learn to space things just a tad and let Janie and others on our team catch some babies! Meanwhile, we got you and we certainly seem to have impeccable timing!  #timingiseverything #beachvibes #babycatcher #birthteam #midwifelife #midwives #lucky #utahbirthcenter #homebirth #wegotthis #relax #wasatchmidwifery

When we have one baby born, we have two.
