Philosophy
of CMS
CMS is a midwifery service offered to the community dedicated to the education,
support and care of women in their childbearing years and beyond. We believe
in the natural process of birth and life. Our goal is to offer women and
their families the opportunity to have fulfilling and empowering birth
experience. We hope to facilitate an atmosphere of privacy and protection
for the birthing mother and the new baby. We extend every effort to allow
bonding to occur naturally by not separating the mother and baby in the
first hour after birth.
It is our priority to allow the mother to hold her baby immediately after
birth, allowing her to be the one to discover the sex of her baby, count
fingers and toes and warm her baby with her own body heat. We strongly
believe that birth is a natural, joyous and intimate event for the family.
We will do all we can to facilitate your wishes for your birth. CMS is
dedicated to providing professional care while preserving the individual
needs and desires of each family we serve. We provide prenatal care and
counseling for those who chose to birth with us, monitoring the progression
of the pregnancy and assisting in the process of keeping our mothers low
risk and health for mother.
We believe that prevention is the best way for women to maintain a healthy
pregnancy. We chose natural solutions (nutrition, herbs, and homeopathy)
to potential problems whenever we can but are able to provide other options
when necessary. We are privileged to have Dr Robert Ryan, MD., Ph.D.,
FACOG, as a consulting physician for any of our mothers who might need
consult or services from an obstetrician. We also provide well baby and
well woman care. |
