Having a birth in our Birth Unit, feels like a familiar and comfortable environment, thus minimizing the stress to a labouring mother, which means that labour has the chance to progress without interruption and with a reduction in pain. It’s also a more intimate setting, which may appeal to some moms who have specific religious or personal reasons.

We encourage you to hire a Doula, who is a (non-medical) professional that offers support for women during labour and birth. Research has shown many advantages to using a Doula in labour. She also does not replace your partner in any way, but works on supporting both of you. We also encourage parents-to-be to refer to our supportive services for holistic care throughout your pregnancy, birth and postnatally.

We will also ensure a transfer to a hospital facility in case an emergency arises. Any woman who has an uncomplicated pregnancy is a good candidate for our birth unit. A mother who has previously had a normal vaginal delivery with no complications is also a good candidate. A mom who has previously had a Caesarean section and wants a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean) is not a candidate for our Birth Unit and we would birth at a hospital.
