MoonDragon's MDBS Birthing Guidelines
PRACTICE PROTOCOL INDEX




rushing off to a birth
Rushing off to a birth!
(Spiritual Midwifery,1975)


Midwives believe birth is normal and a natural physiological condition. We believe that women are strong, intelligent, intuitive, and capable human beings that are able to care for their bodies and birth their babies naturally, without medications and surgical or medical interventions. We strive to emphasize wellness and preventive measures through nutritious diet, healthy lifestyle, stress relieving measures and moderate exercise. We believe that women are able to give birth in the comfort and security their own home in the supporting and loving company of their partner, family and friends.
