Labor and Birth
Soft Corner is proud to offer birth services in the comfort of your own home or our beautiful Birth Center. But truthfully your early labor support begins before we’ve even settled into either location. Before your midwife even arrives at your home (or you arrive at the birthing center), you will have had close contact throughout early labor. During labor, fetal heart tones and vitals will be assessed, ensuring everyone is coping well with labor. You are encouraged to eat, move and rest as inclined. Support and affirmation will be provided throughout labor to suit your individual needs. Families and partners are welcome to be involved in the process. In the immediate postpartum period, we will assess everyone’s transitions and recovery, provide breastfeeding support, complete a comprehensive newborn exam and then tuck everyone into bed.
A better approach
for better outcomes.
Postpartum and Newborn Care
So much transition takes place in those first few days and again in the following weeks. Midwives in Maine are considered primary care providers for birthing people and newborns. During postpartum we treat the two like a dyad, still interwoven and connected to one another. Soft Corner aims to nurture the fourth trimester. Home based care offered in the first week postpartum allows your family time to recover and bond. We proudly offer this in depth service for you and your baby. Immune systems can be fragile at this time, but staying at home allows microbiomes to strengthen and illness exposure to be limited.
