We want each woman to feel completely safe and held throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum, and to know that there is always a trusted person to call upon for anything which might arise. We want her to feel comfortable and trusting during her birthing time so that she is supported to simply let go and birth her baby. To this end, at Three Sisters each mother has a dedicated team of midwives who take the time to know her well and with whom she can develop a deep relationship of trust and confidence.
Three dedicated midwives will follow you throughout your childbearing time, including your prenatal care, labor, birth and the extended postpartum. Two of the midwives will attend your labor and birth, with the apprentice attending whenever possible. The third midwife on your team will maintain on-call status in case extra help is needed and will arrive refreshed to attend to your first day postpartum needs.
You will become very familiar with your own team of midwives, and we would also like you to meet the other midwives and apprentices in our practice. In this way, in the rare event of an emergency or illness, you will be comfortable with the women surrounding and supporting you and will never be asked to meet someone “at the last minute.”
We are thrilled to be working together as a group to support excellent care and beautiful, safe births for women and babies. We believe the shared responsibility and support network this model of care offers us helps us be better midwives. The “take home message” for you: There is always a midwife you know who is rested, fresh, informed and ready to help you.
