Pre-hospital Birth Support
At Parteras Sin Fronteras, we believe birth is a process that should be experienced with respect, care, and trust. For those who choose a hospital birth but want personalized support before heading to the hospital, we offer pre-hospital care — a moment of both technical and emotional support in the comfort of your home.
How does pre-hospital birth support in Florianópolis work with Parteras Sin Fronteras?
During labor, our team will come to your home to monitor the progress safely and respectfully. This support includes:
-
Labor Assessment: We help identify the right time to go to the hospital, reducing the risk of unnecessary interventions.
-
Emotional and Physical Support: We offer pain-relief techniques such as massage, exercises, and guidance to help with comfort during contractions.
-
Confidence and Calm: We create a safe environment where you and your family can feel prepared for the next steps.
Our goal is for you to arrive at the hospital at the right time, already in active labor, which reduces waiting time and increases the chances of a birth with fewer interventions.
Benefits of Pre-Hospital Birth Support:
-
Reduced Stress: Labor can progress more smoothly when you're at home, surrounded by comfort and familiarity.

Fewer Interventions: Arriving at the hospital at the right time minimizes the chance of early or unnecessary interventions.

Women’s Protagonism: You are the main character in your birth, and our team ensures that your choices are respected from the very start.

Can a doula replace a midwife?
No, the doula and the midwife have complementary roles.
While the doula provides emotional and physical support, a midwife ensures safety and clinical monitoring. Together, they create a supportive and safe birth experience.
