I asked readers who had given birth in a less than ideal situation if they had any advice for someone facing the same challenge. Here are some great words of encouragement for people who might be facing a birth they didn't plan for. Panicking never helps.

Miedo entre mujeres embarazadas por dar a luz en hospitales con casos de coronavirus

Según Kathleen Vande Giessen, partera y directora del North Houston Birth Center, ha incrementado el número de mujeres que prefieren evitar los centros médicos por miedo a contagiarse con el virus. "Allí no tendrás contacto con tanta gente y no debes permanecer mucho tiempo ahí", asegura Ana Vega, quien prefirió tener a sus bebés en el centro asistencial de partos.

A LETTER TO OUR PATIENTS ABOUT COVID-19

COVID-19 BIRTH CENTER UPDATE

Dear Patient, 
​As a valued member of our North Houston Birth Center patient community, we appreciate the trust you place in us and want to inform you about how we are addressing the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation.

We are closely monitoring events in our local community and continuously updating our policies and protocols as a result of new information.
Please know that our office is following all recommended guidance from public health authorities, including best practices for hygiene, infection control and medical professional team health. We feel confident in our ability to continue seeing patients and providing prenatal care according to the personalized and private care that you have come to expect and deserve.

Our highest priority is to keep all of our patients and staff as safe as possible.

Therefore, at the recommendation of CDC, we will be taking patients’ temperatures and asking these screening questions prior to allowing them to enter the reception area.  Notably, all patients need to consider these questions prior to going to our office:
  • Have you traveled to a COVID-19 affected geographic area within 14 days of symptom onset? (China, Iran, S. Korea, Europe, cruise ship or any high risk sites in U.S.)
  • Have you had close contact with a person who traveled to high risk sites or has COVID-19?
  • Do you have fever and respiratory symptoms such as cough or shortness of breath?
  • If you answered yes to any of the above questions, please call your Genesis Physician Office so that we can discuss with a physician how best to take care of you.

Should you arrive at the office and meet these criteria, you will be asked to return to your vehicle and to call our office for a telephone assessment so that we do not expose other patients and staff. This effort will help determine whether you should be seen in a treatment setting that is better equipped for this situation.

If you have any questions about this notification or your upcoming appointment, call your physician’s office. 
Thank you for your continued trust and loyalty as we work together to fight this virus.
​
Sincerely,
North Houston Birth Center

Maternal Mortality in U.S.

Most people believe that to have a “natural” childbirth at a birth center and NOT at a hospital is an unusual and unscientific way of having a baby. Here we will explore why this may be the best way to have a baby... "It’s Primitive," she said… You can only know what you have been exposed to. “Natural Childbirth” may seem silly in this day and age. But the truth is man-kind has done little to improve the experience since the great migration to hospital birth in the early 1900s.
This article explains the increase in Maternal Mortality Rates In The United States. This was posted by Healthimpactnews.com. 

Here’s the title:  OBSCENE Increase in Maternal Mortality Rates in the United States…       
The definition for obscene is, "offensive or disgusting by accepted standards of morality and decency.  That is pretty strong language… but after reading the statistics I had to agree.
As you may already know, United States, of all other industrialized countries spends the most money on health care... so how can this situation be happening?
According to the latest figures from the World Health Organization, the  United States maternal death rate has doubled, going from 12 maternal deaths per 100,000 per year to a 28 maternal deaths per 100,000 per year... This statistic does not touch on the morbidity rate either. Morbidity relates to the diseases caused by the way you are treated during your birth, such as pelvic floor damage from forced pushing too early or episiotomy; or lifelong implications from cesarean section. 
Out of hospital birth allows you to avoid unnecessary interventions which themselves can cause complications and lead to more interventions. Beginning with a midwife in the out of hospital setting reduces morbidity.
