How Midwifery Care Supports Family Wellness

In the journey of welcoming a new life into the world, midwifery care plays an important role in supporting family wellness. Village Midwives, located in Silverdale Village, has been supporting for families in the community for the past 5 years.

Midwifery care goes beyond just medical assistance; it focuses on providing holistic support to both the expectant parents and their families. At Village Midwives, families are embraced with personalised care, emotional support, and education throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Midwifery care supports family wellness by fostering a sense of trust and connection. The relationship between the midwife and the family is built on mutual respect, open communication, and shared decision-making. This level of trust allows families to feel empowered and confident in their birthing experience, which leads to better outcomes for both the parent and the child. We provide evidence based and non biased information to ensure informed decision-making. We will respect and support your individual choices. We give guidance on childbirth options, and support in discussing what is important to you and takes time to find out about your preferences and values. Empowering parents to be in control of their experience results in a more positive and satisfying birthing experience. We also give loving and understanding support to families during the postpartum period for the first 4-6 weeks after the birth of your baby. We offer lactation support as needed and monitoring baby's growth and wellbeing, giving newborn care guidance and tips for settling. . We give emotional support for the parents as they navigate the joys and challenges of early parenthood. We focus on nurturing families and empowering parents guiding families through the beautiful journey of pregnancy, childbirth and early parenthood. We want to see not just surviving but thriving!
