Hello Everyone!! I'm putting together a new series of blogs that will highlight the items I carry in my Birth Kit! 
Did you know that Homebirth Midwives carry all the same equipment that you would find in a standard Labor & Delivery Room?

Equipment like:
  • Stethoscope & Blood Pressure Cuff
  • Thermometer
  • Fetal Doppler & Fetoscope - to listen to baby's heart tones
  • Oxygen Tanks - for Mom & Baby
  • Anti-Hermorrhagic Medications (ex. Misoprostil, Pitocin, and/or Methergine)
  • IV Fluids
  • Antibiotics
  • Venipuncture Supplies
  • Other Supplies like, Sterile Gloves & Lubricant, Antiseptic Solutions
  • Resuscitation Equipment for Baby
  • Pulse Ox
  • Instruments for Cutting Baby's Cord
  • Perineal Repair Instruments (yes, this includes Lidocaine for numbing the area first!)
  • Newborn Meds - Vitamin K and Erythromycin (LM's do not carry vaccines)
  • Scale - to weigh the baby after birth
We also carry other things you wouldn't find in a hospital, like:
  • Homeopathic Remedies
  • Herbs
  • Essential Oils
And other Labor Support items like:
  • Rebozo's
  • Birthing Tubs - that you can actually birth in! (The hospitals with tubs don't allow that)
  • Birthing Stools
  • Heating Pad
  • Our extensive knowledge about positional changes to remedy a non-active labor pattern or to aid labor progression
