Full Service Home Birth
Like you, I was frustrated by what I saw in the hospitalized version of prenatal care and delivery. The lack of attention and personalization, lack of rest after birthing. I recognized it was time for change. Now you can birth at home in the way you choose with the added comfort of knowing you are in the hands of a licensed OB doctor.
Twin Births
Twins are a beautiful miracle! Yet, in a typical medical birth setting can pose a challenge for both Mother and Babies. Have peace of mind birthing your twins in the comfort of your home, knowing that Dr. Victoria is a well experienced practitioner of twin births. Complications that many believe can only be cared for in a hospital, are now available to you through home birth!
Breech Births
Too many times I have heard the stories of mothers with breech babies who were given no other option outside of cesarean birth. Under the right circumstances breech birth is safe and can be done at home as long as a trained, experienced doctor is present. You have options.
External Cephalic Versions
A baby presenting as breech can be turned manually with careful maneuvering by a doctor. Over half of ECV attempts are successful in moving the baby into a head down position. If you are beyond 36 weeks and baby is breech, talk with Dr. Victoria to see if an ECV will work for you.
Early or Late Delivery
Current California laws prevent midwives from delivering babies at home if they are earlier that 37 weeks or past 42 weeks. As a licensed MD I am able to give mothers the option of home birth when you are outside of that window. If you currently have a midwife I can work with them to be present at your birth if you are beyond 42 weeks.
Placenta Encapsulation
If you are interested in this preparation, it is important to expect that your capsules will be made using care and consideration. Once you deliver, your body will be low in available nutrients, and yes, you will naturally replenish your stores, but some women desire to utilize their own placenta’s vitamins and minerals. If you would like to use your placenta in this way, I will prepare the capsules for you, and upon request I can even add in additional herbs for further restorative support.
