Birth Unlimited's philosophy

Birth Unlimited's philosophy is based on the midwifery model of care, in which pregnancy and birth are normal life events.

The midwifery model of care involves:

• Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle.
  
  
• Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support.
  
  
• Minimizing technological interventions.
  
  
• Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention.

The application of this woman-centered model has proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma and cesarean section (Midwives of North America).
