Planning a home birth with a licensed midwife doesn't mean that nothing ever goes wrong. What it means is that if something goes wrong your team is trained and equipped to handle the complications 💪 OR transfer you to a higher level of care when needed.

Home birth stats:
-Most complications are managed right in the home setting. This is what your midwife and team are trained for.
- Your midwife brings all the equipment to monitor you and baby throughout labor and the immediate postpartum.
-Your midwife carries medications and herbs for bleeding, IVs and fluids, antibiotics, and oxygen for use when needed.
- Only about 2% of experienced mothers transfer to a higher level of care.
-About 10-15%of first time moms transfer. Usually for a long labor and pain relief.

Waterbirth: check out the current research and evidence on waterbirth below 👇
Earthside proudly offers waterbirth to all of their clients. ❤️ Most of our mamas choose waterbirth, as long as baby gives us enough time to set up the pool. 🌊

In this article, we discuss the evidence on waterbirth. Is waterbirth safe? Are there any benefits? Are there any risks to the baby? Learn the research on this and more in our popular article on waterbirth!

Our Story

My name is Abbie Paulson. I love helping women achieve a satisfying and pleasurable birth experience. Birth is my passion and it’s such a privilege to help women bring their little ones into the world. I believe that God made our bodies perfectly to birth our babies! As a ICEA certified doula, I help helping women through educating, listening to, advocating for and assisting a woman prenatally, during labor, and after. I am familiar with and attend births at both Sanford Aberdeen and Avera Saint Lukes. I also attend planned home-births and am passionate about a women’s choice of birth place. I am also a certified breastfeeding counselor and I love supporting women into a beautiful breastfeeding relationship. I offer my services as a ministry and strive not to make my services a financial burden on clients!
