RBS is so very excited to be offering homebirth midwifery services to mothers and families in the Pikes Peak Region and Colorado Eastern Plains! For low-risk, healthy mamas and babies this birth choice is a wonderful option and empowering experience for the mother, baby, and family.
As midwives, we strongly believe in the rights to informed decision-making and the autonomy of the pregnant person. Our homebirth practice is dedicated to answering questions, educating parents, and respecting the pregnant person and their choices. In other words, this means that you as the pregnant person have the ability to choose the place of your birth, those in attendance, and how you labor. Your birth plan is our top priority!
