Laboring in Water: a Gentle Alternative   Most people are comforted by water, and soaking in a tub of warm water to ease labor sounds inviting to most women. In water, a woman is free from gravity’s pull on her body, a stress reliever that, in turn, will help a mother to relax. Being more relaxed both physically and mentally allows for the production of pain inhibitors, called endorphins, that compliment labor. For women who find water soothing, they may also want to give birth in the water. The ease of the mother giving birth to her baby born into water provides a gentle welcome to a newborn.  

Scent Free Facility   The midwives at Birth Wellness are committed to spreading awareness about scent free green beauty and household routines. Families birthing at the Belvoir home will not be exposed to scented linens, candles, sprays or chemically scented soaps, shampoos or conditioners. Most of the home is cleaned with vinegar and baking soda and all of our laundry products are scent free. Good for baby. Good for mom. Good for the whole family!
