There are many ways to experience birth, and there is no right or wrong way.<\/p>\n

Expecting parents may set specific goals and intentions for their birth experience based on personal preferences. These intentions may include forgoing pain medication and giving birth without interventions.<\/p>\n

To meet the needs of parents who desire a non-medicated birth in an environment that supports no added medical interventions, MultiCare Deaconess Hospital created a dedicated three-room unit called BirthWise<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeaconess has long had a philosophy of ‘your birth your way.’ And BirthWise is another way of providing options,\u201d explains Valerie Ewert, CNM, ARNP, MSN<\/a>, a certified nurse-midwife at MultiCare Rockwood OB\/GYN & Midwifery Center<\/a>. \u201cFrom its inception, the goal and purpose of BirthWise was to have a different space for low-risk, healthy moms who prefer not to have IV pain medication or an epidural.\u201d<\/p>\n

BirthWise is a great option for those who want an unmedicated birth, freedom to move during labor, have their baby\u2019s heartbeat assessed and give birth in a position they choose, all while having access to full medical support if necessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s reassuring to moms \u2014 if something happens, we have access to everything we need,\u201d adds Ewert.<\/p>\n

A comforting, supportive environment<\/h2>\n

Kendall Hickman, 26, became familiar with BirthWise while working as a postpartum nurse on the mother-baby unit at Deaconess.<\/p>\n

When Hickman became pregnant, she knew it was the childbirth experience she wanted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always been amazed by the process of childbirth and was eager to experience it in its entirety without any interventions,\u201d she says. \u201cBirthWise is an environment where you can have somewhat of a home birth experience but be in the hospital where you feel safe and secure just in case something were to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hickman met the eligibility requirements of using BirthWise \u2014 she doesn\u2019t have high-risk factors like obesity, hypertension or diabetes; she doesn\u2019t smoke; and her labor began after 37 weeks.<\/p>\n

BirthWise suites feature a comfortable couch, labor bed and Jacuzzi tub. The tub is in the room rather than the bathroom, and it\u2019s larger than tubs in traditional labor and delivery rooms.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say 90 percent of moms spend most of their labor in the tub,\u201d says Ewert. \u201cIt\u2019s probably the number one coping method.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other coping mechanisms in BirthWise include birth balls, TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) units and nurses dedicated to supporting the birth process.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMidwife means \u2018with woman,\u2019 and that\u2019s my role, to be with our mamas and make sure they are safe and baby is safe.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While Hickman\u2019s baby\u2019s heartbeat was measured periodically, she could otherwise move freely around the room since she wasn\u2019t hooked up to monitors or an IV. And it was her decision when to have her cervix checked.<\/p>\n

Ewert explains, however, that being in BirthWise doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t change your mind about having an epidural: \u201cIf you want to be transferred to labor and delivery, you can absolutely do that,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

And sometimes complications do arise that make medical interventions necessary. These are the circumstances when it\u2019s beneficial to be in a hospital \u2014 mom can be easily transferred to receive the care she and her baby need.<\/p>\n

A birth that went even better than planned
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At Hickman\u2019s 40-week prenatal appointment, she had no signs of labor. Ewert, her midwife, suggested she go for a walk, get rest and call if anything changed.<\/p>\n

Hickman decided to walk the golf course with her husband Tyler while he got one last game in before baby\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got home, and when I was making dinner, I started to feel something,\u201d says Hickman.<\/p>\n

In the next few hours, contractions got stronger. Ewert advised Hickman to labor at home as long as she could, as she\u2019d be more comfortable and relaxed there. When contractions lasted for a minute and were five minutes apart, she and her husband left for the hospital.<\/p>\n

Hickman was at 7 centimeters when she got to the hospital and labored for about five hours until baby arrived. She says she made use of the tub and birth ball to cope with the pain.<\/p>\n

\"Mom

\u201cWe brought music and kept the lights dim,\u201d says Hickman. \u201cMy husband, Val and my nurse were there the whole time with me, which was really comforting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hickman says Ewert was her coach and cheerleader. She let her know what was to come and how to prepare for the next stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cVal would talk me through a contraction and remind me to keep breathing,\u201d says Hickman. \u201cShe kept me in the right mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMidwife means ‘with woman,’ and that\u2019s my role, to be with our mamas and make sure they are safe and baby is safe,\u201d says Ewert. \u201cI walk alongside them, guide them, and watch and wait as the process unfolds. That\u2019s what we do and what moms who chose BirthWise expect from us.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it was time to start pushing, Hickman says Ewert coached her through it.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe made me wait through contractions or hold through certain spots to prevent tearing,\u201d Hickman says. \u201cIt was a total of about 10 pushes, and he was out. My husband was able to grab him and put him on my chest. That was a cool experience for him to be part of.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Mom,

The new family of three<\/p><\/div>\n

Hickman delivered Jett just before 5am. She and her husband stayed in the room with their newborn, enjoying their first day together as a family of three.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother benefit of BirthWise is you get to stay in your room after delivery \u2014 you don\u2019t have to be transferred to a recovery room,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Hickman recalls her BirthWise experience was even better than she could have planned.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt so strong and so in tune with my body,\u201d she says. \u201cIt was a wild ride, but so worth it!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can see the empowerment women feel after they\u2019ve had a baby in BirthWise,\u201d Ewert says. \u201cThey are exhausted but so incredibly invigorated at the same time. It\u2019s so joyful to witness.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
