DANIELLE BERGUM
Danielle is currently observing labors, at no charge, for support and continuing education.
What does the labor observation include?
As a requirement for CAPPA certification, I am documenting events, the progress of labor, outcome, and anything unique that occurs during this time to gain experience and further understanding of the beauty of birth.
The observation can be just that – me with a pad nad pen observing as the labor progresses. As I understand the importance of comfort during this time, and have had my own wonderful experience through a home birth, I can participate in your labor and birth with support for the mother and birth partner as much as you would like, or simply observe quietly and out of the way.
