How much is a delivery cost at a birthing center?

I can't say for sure, it really depends on your center and where you live. But I've researched a few in Texas and Oklahoma and they tend to cost between $3000 and 5000. Due to the lack of most drugs and overnight stays they will almost always be cheaper than hospital. The one I'm personally planning on using is around $3500 for prenatal care and delivery. That only includes the initial sonogram, and not the one they recommend around 18 weeks or required natural childbirth classes. I know it's not the most thorough information but I hope it helps a little.

baby delivery cost at a birth center is less expensive than in a hospital. Average is around $2000 - $5000.

What does a midwife nurse do?

A Midwife helps the mother, before, during and after childbirth.

What do you need to study to become a doula?

Most doulas attend a two or three day workshop with a certification organization (such as DONA, ToLabor, Birth Arts International or CAPPA) and then pursue certification individually. This includes reading A LOT (each group has their own required and recommended reading list, but anything about pregnancy and birth is helpful) and attending births. The number of births depends according to organization. The doula-in-training usually writes about her experience at the birth and has someone (the mom or dad, or one of the healthcare professionals, depending on the organization). Each group has their own exam after these requirements have been completed.

Of course, certification is not necessary to attend women in labor. A woman may call herself a doula even if she is not certified. The advantages to certification include potential reimbursement from Medicaid or private insurance, and provides some confidence to the expectant parents that the doula is qualified and knowledgable.

How do you become a certified nurse midwife?

Certification is required in nursing because it is a professional curse. To become a certified nurse one must first go through nursing school. After school one must take and passed the required professional exams.

In what states or countries can a man not be a midwife?

A man is not allowed to be a midwife. That is why the term midwife is used. Also it is illegal for some one to use a midwife except for in three states. Once the health care reform bill passes no one will be allowed to be a midwife. You will have to us an ob/gyn as required by the other 47 states. In Japan and Canada it is also not allowed for a man to be a midwife. Men tried to challenge this for years. In the UK there are midwives that are men but they are called men-midwives. There are not very many of them either. If a man wants to work in the medical field as a health care provider for women than he needs to go to medical school and become an ob/gyn instead of trying to take the easy way out and invade upon an area that was and is only intended for women. Midwives do not know how to safely deliver a bay either and that is why doctors are the right choice. Obama sees that and is going to fix it all. You midwives and male nurses need to get real jobs.

What does a midwife mean if she says 'it's at the brim'?

By 'lying in the brim' we mean that the baby's head is just at the top of the bony pelvis (pelvic brim) so the head is not engaged but almost certainly will be soon. As you have only 4 weeks until your due date it sounds as though everything is going in the right direction - that is downwards! sounds to me like she is referring to the head of the baby is crowning, meaning that it is approaching the vaginal opening.

In relation to the brim in pregnancy why would your midwife put free on your notes?

It just means that the baby's head is not yet fixed in your pelvis, it can still move from side to side. If you are 36 weeksor less this is quite normal, as it is if it is your second or subsequent baby. If it is your first baby it MAY mean that your pelvis is a bit on the small side. However as a midwife I once looked after a woman where at term the baby's head was free at 9am (in hospital as the baby kept moving to different positions), at 3.30pm her husband came and told me she was having contractions, a bit of a panic ensued in case she was in labor with the baby laying crossways or similar, at 5.30pm she had her baby quite normally, head first, so a 'free' head is not necessarily a problem. Hope this helps (englishangel)

What services might a doula offer to her clients?

A doula is an assistant who provides various forms of non-medical and non-midwifery support (physical and emotional) in the childbirth process. Based on a particular doula's training and background, the doula may offer support during prenatal care, during childbirth and/or during the postpartum period. A birth doula provides support during labor. Thus a labor doula may attend a home birth or might attend the parturient woman during labor at home and continue while in transport and then complete supporting the birth at a hospital or a birth center. A postpartum doula typically begins providing care in the home after the birth. Such care might include cooking for the mother, breastfeeding support, newborn care assistance, errands, light housekeeping, etc. Such care is provided from the day after the birth, providing services through the first six weeks postpartum. In some cases, doula care can last several months or even to a year postpartum - especially in cases when mothers are suffering from postpartum depression, children with special needs require longer care, or there are multiple infants.

Any nursing students out there that could tell what an average day in clinical training is like?

Starting out can be boring. You'll do lots of tasks to help R.N.s. But look at it as a time of learning. Later, you'll be given more responsibilities-- and wish you had help.

Is the bag that she found in the pond foreshadowing in the book called the midwife's apprentice?

In "The Midwife's Apprentice" by Karen Cushman, the bag found in the pond could be considered a form of foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is a literary device where the author hints at future events in the story. The bag may symbolize hidden secrets or unexpected discoveries that will be revealed later in the plot. Its presence could create suspense and intrigue for the reader, suggesting that there are more mysteries to uncover as the story progresses.

How can you get a midwife if you can't get a doctor?

I am not sure why you "can't" have a Physician, but if you would prefer to have a midwife attend your birth, there are many ways to find one. There are essentially 2 types of midwives. One, is a Certified Nurse Midwife, and the other is a Licensed, Certified, or Direct-Entry Midwife. A Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), is one who is a Registered Nurse Practitioner and has had specialized training in women's health and pregnancy. It is most common to have a CNM if you will be having a hospital birth. Some CNM's do, however attend homebirths. If you are in the United States, you can find a CNM via this website: http://www.acnm.org/ You may also opt to have a Direct-Entry midwife, a person who has had specialized training in pregnancy and birth through various methods such as private midwifery school and/or rigorous apprenticeship programs and are state licensed and/or nationally certified. Licensed Midwives most commonly attend homebirths. If you are in the United States or Canada, you can find Midwives and other birth professionals at www.birthpartners.com. Most states also have their own Midwifery chapters where you can find Midwives.
