Having faith in the process of birth .... A world full of open minded parents,
all wanting to be informed ..... Having trust in themselves, their babies,
listening to their inner being, their intuition .... Using the resources the Earth
has given to us ..... Whole foods to be nourished by, for growing a baby inside
the womb .... Water to ease the pain of labor .... Breastmilk as the perfect first food ....
Herbs for healing and comfort .... Having faith in the process of life.
It is the vision of CHOICES to improve the quality of and sensitivity toward pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and early parenting ways. We hope to help
families have positive experiences .... For babies to be gently welcomed into
the world, breastfeeding past their first birthday. We want to bring awareness
to attachment parenting, listening and trusting yourself and your baby. We
wish for parents' to be informed, to decide what is best for themselves.
Giving birth is one of the most important events of you entire life.
The impact of this experience can forever change a woman. We
want to help you to feel empowered in your journey.
We believe........
- In the Midwifery Model of Care which is based on the fact that
pregnancy and birth is a natural, normal event. Visit Citizens for Midwifery at www.CFMidwifery.org
- All should become educated, through unbiased resources, on
how to have a safer, healthier pregnancy and birth.
- Birth can safely take place at home, hospital or birth center.
- Women and babies have the right to avoid routine interventions
that are based on convenience, policies and the norm in the USA.
- Babies should be born gently, treated with respect and not taken
away from their mother.
- Breastfeeding should begin soon after birth and is the best
nutrition with hundreds of benefits for infants and toddlers.
