The mission of Westover Hills Birth Center is to provide families with ethical, competent, family-centered midwifery care during the childbearing year. The midwifery model of care is based on informed choices and decisions, guided by formal and continuous education, scientific research, and application of evidence-based practice. A midwife may be the best provider of pregnancy care if...- You have a low risk pregnancy- You want to be an active decision maker in your pregnancy and birth- You want a natural birth with minimal interventions- You would prefer more than 5-10 minutes per visit with a provider (a midwife visit is 45 minutes to 1 hour each)- You believe that pregnancy and birth is a normal body function and not an illness routinely requiring hospitalization and doctors (1/3 of babies born in San Antonio hospitals are born by c-section)- You want options of movement, eating, drinking, and where you birth YOUR baby
