It has been some time in the planning, but finally I can announce that the bathroom at our birthing suite has had a complete refit!
The bathroom now includes a large corner bath to facilitate our water births at the unit. Thank you to husband Grant for his invaluable help with completing this project.

So my team and I have been busy throughout the Lockdown, armed with our essential workers documents, we have continued as normal through these strange times. Obviously taking the steps required regarding protection for my clients and myself, following the guidelines issued, but continuing to serve the Moms of Durban and beyond.
If anything it has made our home births even more special than before, if that were possible!! We have taken in clients who were desperate for a normal supported birth, and we have provided that in the comfort of their homes. Those couples who would not normally have chosen the home birth route have come around to believing in this as a good option. In hindsight, they have been overwhelmed by how positive it was, completely circumnavigating the COVID testing and the possibility of their main support person, the father of their child, not being allowed access into the hospital to support them. We have even had a home birth father who is a Dr, who is now spreading the word amongst colleagues and friends. As always we are so proud of our couples who trust the process, Moms who trust their bodies and their babies to birth as women have been doing for millennia. We are simply here to facilitate that process. |
