Birth at home with Gravidbalans - Viveca & Victoria
Why do we work with home births?
We want to promote the autonomy of pregnant persons and those giving birth, and believe that every individual should have the power over their birth and their body. We are aiming to shield the physiological birth and strive to create a safe, permissive and strengthening atmosphere together with "our" families. Our goal is for you to enter parenthood strengthened after birth.
Childbirth is a unique and deeply personal experience, and we believe in giving pregnant and laboring individuals the tools and knowledge they need to make informed decisions that suit their own needs and desires. We support and encourage you who want to give birth with us to take an active role, throughout the process.
By establishing a relationship with you and your partner/support person already during pregnancy, together we will prepare for your birth to be undisturbed.
How to proceed?
If you are thinking about giving birth at home and want to know more, contact us here or via our social media. We will book an appointment for an initial phone call (calls can also be booked via the booking page).
During the phone call, we will share our way of working. We will exchange information with you, and get to know each other and your wishes as a first step.
Then we book a first home visit, which will take place in pregnancy week 30. During this visit where we'll all get to know each other further. We will go through more in detail what you can expect from us. And we will find out your wishes and desires regarding your birth. We will also review your health and assess whether home birth is suitable.
If you then decide to give birth with us attending it, we will make your reservation and set a date for the next home visit; a preparatory conversation in about pregnacny weeks 36-37. During this visit you have landed a little and new questions may have arisen. Practical preparations such as who will be there during the birth, e.g. how the water for the birth pool (if you are planning to use one) should be heated, are reviewed.
