Learn about natural childbirth, midwives

St. Vincent Carmel Women’s Center is hosting a free community seminar to answer questions about natural childbirth and midwives. The seminar will take place from 6 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 24 in the Community Room on the first floor of St. Vincent Carmel Women’s Center, 13420 N. Meridian St., Carmel. Please use Entrance 3.

Bethany Monte, Certified Nurse Midwife and Dr. Amy Moon, OB/Gyn, will be presenting and will answer questions about birthing options available at St. Vincent.

According to WebMD, natural childbirth, which women have experienced for centuries, is undergoing a renaissance of sorts as a growing number of women are electing to have a midwife shepherd them through the delivery at home or in a birthing center.

A midwife is a trained health professional who helps healthy women during labor, delivery and after the birth of their babies. Midwives may deliver babies at birthing centers or at home, but most can also deliver babies at a hospital.
