Your Birth Plan Options at Circle City Midwifery

Creating a birth plan is not about controlling every moment but about making choices that genuinely acknowledge what feels best for you. It helps you explore what matters most, from where you want to give birth to who you want by your side. Here are some key decisions to consider:

Where do you feel safest?

We offer a range of birthing options so you can welcome your baby in a space that feels safe, comfortable, and truly yours. Whether you envision a natural birth or a soothing water birth, we’re here to respect your choices and guide you every step of the way. 

• Natural Birth

This approach lets you experience the raw, beautiful journey of birth without the need for any interventions like pain medication or epidurals. Natural birth is all about trusting your body, moving with the rhythm of labor, and embracing your strength. 

• Water Birth

For many families, water birth offers a soothing and peaceful experience. The warmth of the water can help ease labor by triggering endorphins and improving blood flow to your muscles, making contractions feel more manageable. The buoyancy of the water also gives you the freedom to move and find positions that are most comfortable for you. 

• Birth Care Center

Our birth care center offers the perfect blend of home-like comfort and professional midwifery support. Designed for those seeking a peaceful, intimate setting, it provides a cozy atmosphere with access to natural birthing tools, such as birthing tubs, movement aids, and midwifery-led care to support your journey.

Remember:  This is your birthing experience. Whatever you choose, we fully acknowledge and support your decision. 

A Holistic Approach to Birth: Mind, Body, & Spirit

When birthing, people often overlook the emotional and spiritual journey that comes with it. But at Circle City Midwifery, we take a more holistic approach so you are truly cared for in every way. 

Comprehensive Prenatal Care

We believe that a well-prepared mind and body, supported by proper prenatal care, create the foundation for a positive birth experience. That’s why we offer:

• Prenatal Education: Understanding what to expect during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum can help you feel more confident and at ease. We will guide you through every step. 

• Nutritional Counseling: What you eat plays a crucial role in your health and your baby’s development. We provide personalized dietary guidance to support a healthy pregnancy.

• Emotional Support: Pregnancy can bring excitement, joy, and sometimes uncertainty. We create a space where you feel heard, supported, and uplifted.

Natural Birth Support

Your body is beautifully designed for birth, and we help you trust its natural rhythm with:

• Relaxation Exercises

Learning how to calm your mind and body can make labor a more peaceful experience.

• Movement & Positioning

Staying active during labor can ease discomfort and encourage a baby’s smooth arrival.

• Breathing Techniques

Focusing on your breath can reduce tension and help you stay grounded during contractions.

• Encouragement and reassurance
• Hands-on support for comfort and pain management

That’s why our services, including postpartum care, continues long after delivery, ensuring you feel nurtured and confident in this new stage of parenthood.
