Welcome to Full Circle Midwifery!
Childbirth is a normal event for most women. The Midwives at Full Circle believe midwifery care keeps birth safe and family-centered. It empowers women to keep healthy during pregnancy, to give birth naturally, and to parent in the best ways.
Every woman has the right to choose where and with whom she has her baby. We will honor the sacredness of your birth, and be respectful and accepting of your choices about your birth.
Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers ~ strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.
~ Barbara Katz Rothman
What’s New!
- VBAC: Often, the risk doctors are referencing is the less-than-1-percent chance that the post-cesarean uterus will rupture during labor, which can be catastrophic in some cases. The chance of a rupture is about .32 percent (or about 3 in 1,000) and the overall risk for “serious adverse perinatal outcome” (stillbirth, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, neonatal death) is about .27 percent or 106 out of 39,049, as concluded in a 2007 study.

- Birth Survey check it out:
“Birth is a rite of passage in every culture that conveys the core values of that culture. It enacts and displays them,” - Dr. Robbie Davis-Floyd, medical anthropologist. Cultures that “super value” technology, use a lot of technology at birth. Cultures that “super value” nature and human experience tend to be “low tech and high touch.”
