T.A.R.A.S.A.N.A
provides an alternative to childbirth in a hospital. Women are empowered and given control during their labor and delivery. They wear their own clothes, eat and drink during labor, and walk around. Women can bring as many support people as they like. The birthing mother labors in the shower or birth tub, on birth balls, in a birthing rocker, on a birthing stool, or in any other position that is comfortable for her. The Nurse-Midwife is with her throughout labor.
Pregnancy, Birth, & Postpartum Care
Prenatal care is care received during pregnancy. Prenatal care is very important. Women who get regular prenatal care have healthier babies. Regular prenatal care includes blood tests, urine tests, weight monitoring, and blood pressure screening.
Labor of birth its a series of continuous, progressive contractions of the uterus that help the cervix open (dilate) and refine (thinner) to allow the fetus to pass through the birth canal. Labor usually begins two weeks before or after the estimated date of delivery.

Postpartum and Newborn Care The first 6 weeks after giving birth are considered puerperium. To take care of your perineum, wash with soap and water, drying the area very well. It is important to change the compress frequently to keep the area as dry as possible. You can apply ice intermittently to feel more comfortable.
Birth Center Doulas
The doula is a woman who accompanies the future mother, acting as a professional assistant focused on providing support, both emotional and physical, to the couple during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum.
Doulas provide support before, during and after childbirth.
They are allies for the couple during the pregnancy and delivery process, promoting positive experiences in the birth of their sons or daughters.
They provide support in labor and in the safety they can provide for both mother and baby.
Waterbirth
The basis of childbirth in water is the analgesic effect that the liquid element has on uterine contractions. Water at a temperature of 37 degrees generates a pleasant sensation and reduces discomfort during this period, decreases pain, promotes relaxation and decreases the request for epidural analgesia. In addition, immersion in water favors the psychological sensation of intimacy, reducing the sensation of nakedness that the parturient may present and favors movements by generating a sensation of lightness. Water birth favors movements and can allow a vertical posture of the parturient, which influences the descent of the fetal head and opening of the pelvis when associated with the squatting position. For newborns there are also benefits of a water birth. Newborns present a immersion reflex that persists up to six months, which prevents them from performing respiratory movements when submerged in this medium. In addition, we know that babies do not drown when placed in water and are capable of instinctively not breathing.
Analgesic effect. The hot water supposes the relief of the pain of the dilation phase and the childbirth.
Ease of movement. The water favors the postural changes of the pregnant woman during childbirth, the sensation of lightness and analgesia (pain control) thanks to the movement. The liquid ecosystem similar to the intrauterine one in which the baby is, allows an easy adaptation of the newborn to extrauterine life.
Skin-to-skin contact. Water facilitates early skin-to-skin contact, which improves the maternal-fetal bond.
Control of pushing and perineal tears. It seems that water birth favors the control of maternal pushing and has been shown to reduce the appearance of perineal tears.
