In August, 44 women gave birth at the Maternity Clinic and received care from the interdisciplinary team of traditional midwives, professional midwives, obstetric nurses and gynecologists.
At the Maternity Clinic, healthcare professionals offer "different" childbirth care, as one of our clients described it after having previously given birth in two different public institutions.
It's true, here we don't give IVs to all women, nor do we open them up (episiotomy) so that the baby is born faster.
But if we offer them the hospitality necessary to make the birth experience pleasant, the World Health Organization published its evidence-based recommendations for childbirth care in 2019.
Midwives adhere 100% to these and other recommendations to ensure that birth is as minimally intervened as possible and therefore has less chance of presenting a complication such as hemorrhage, labor dystocia or compilations with the baby at birth.
The care here is different, because above all we respect the human rights of the mother and her newborn, we respect privacy, we encourage support, the mother-baby bond from birth.
