Early Labour at Home

Do you want to give birth in hospital, but don’t want to go in too early?
Would you like to start your labour at home, feeling supported and safe?

 

A birth is safe where the mother feels safe.

If hospital is the place where you feel safest, but you don’t want to give up a respected labour, in freedom, choosing the professional who accompanies you, Mudra offers the assistance and support of a midwife during the hours of labour before the birth, until the moment you wish or we have agreed. Our role is to respect the physiological and emotional process of birth and to ensure the privacy the process requires is maintained.

During pregnancy:

  • A minimum of 2 pregnancy follow-up visits before 36 weeks, to build a relationship of trust and intimacy with the team’s midwives, resolve doubts and plan the birth according to your wishes.
  • Home visit at 36 weeks, to get to know your home and your birth companions, where applicable.
  • Pregnancy follow-up visits from week 36 until the birth, on an individual basis, depending on your needs and/or ours.
  • From week 37 we will be available for you until the birth, 24 hours a day, waiting for your call.

During labour

  • When the big day arrives, you will contact us by phone.
  • We will accompany you through early labour, if needed with visits and/or telephone contact, as many times as necessary.
  • We will accompany you through labour until the previously agreed moment, and transfer with you to your chosen hospital.
  • To help you throughout the birth process, we have tools such as: birthing pool, massage, local heat, birth balls, acupressure, Bach flower remedies, homeopathy.

Postpartum:

We will continue our care and accompany you throughout the postpartum period, from the first day until six weeks after the birth. We can make the first visits at the hospital if it is a normal stay, or at your home if you opt for early discharge. We will support you with breastfeeding, monitoring the baby’s weight and care, the mother’s physical and emotional wellbeing, and any questions that arise throughout the process.

  • Postpartum follow-up visits at 24-48 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 15 days, 30 days and 40 days. And more visits depending on each couple’s needs.
  • Care and monitoring of the mother’s physical and emotional wellbeing.
  • Care and monitoring of the baby’s physical condition: weight, length, head circumference, assessment of the belly button, sleep, stools, urination…
  • Breastfeeding follow-up.
  • Heel prick test, where applicable.
  • Recommendations and care of the pelvic floor.
  • In addition, at the six-week visit we will assess the pelvic floor and talk about contraception, changes in the baby, feeding, sleep, breastfeeding and any questions that may arise. And we will close the support process with the “Cerrada” ritual.
