If you’re expecting a baby or planning to in the near future, congratulations! This time will be unlike any other in your life, full of questions, hopes and fears. I hope you find the information on this site useful, but more importantly, I hope it leads you to ask more questions and seek out answers. The birth and rearing of your child is too important to be left up to others. Make informed decisions and transcend mediocrity!
As a midwife, I am constantly in awe of the transformative power that a natural birth has on the life of a family, and a woman in particular. My hope is that women will regain the confidence in their body’s ability to give birth, so they can become active participants in the birth process rather than being “actively managed” right into the operating room. Remember, 1 in 3 mothers will have a cesarean section in Las Vegas hospitals today. It doesn’t have to be you.
Contact Betsy Melancon today for a FREE CONSULTATION and start planning the birth you want.
Dedication
This site is dedicated to the mothers and babies who shared their births with me. They taught me how to be “with woman”.
In loving memory of my great-grandmother, Nicholasa Padilla West, a New Mexico midwife.
