Home Birth in the Metro Atlanta Georgia area...

Welcome friends! This is our space for passing on info about what is happening in our practice and local midwifery politics. We will make every attempt to add the new babies as they arrive. 

Many women feel there is no safer or more loving place to give birth than in their own home with the assistance of a midwife. The home setting is familiar and natural -- a place where the new baby and family are together from the start.

For low-risk pregnancies, there is no evidence to suggest that giving birth in the hospital is safest. The evidence does show much lower rates of obstetrical intervention, such as forceps and c/section deliveries, with midwife assisted births.

Compared with hospital delivery, home birth asks more of parents -- more participation, more responsibility -- and also gives parents more control and involvement in this intimate event. The woman, her family, and the midwife become partners in the health and well-being of the mother and the baby.

Our practice is open to low-risk mothers and serves a limited area so we can provide more focused care.  If you live within an hour's drive from Lilburn we would love to hear from you.
