Aidez nous à lancer la maison de naissance La Bulle
<p>Are you interested in giving birth in a homely environment? As from the 2nd of January 2020, 2 local Midwives, Melyssa Chambard and Sarah Michel, will open ‘La Bulle’, a Birth Centre in Feluy which will be only the 2nd one in Wallonia-Brussels:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What is a birth Unit? A birth unit is: A place where people who have uncomplicated pregnancies can choose a physiological birth, offering both privacy and security, with a team of midwives whom they already know; It is a place where the partner can take be as involved as he likes during the birth of their baby. It is also provides an opportunity to network with other families</p>
<p>The philosophy of a birth unit aims to provide continuity of care during the pre-, peri- and post-natal period. This is all in partnership with the local hospitals and medical teams within the region. The midwives working at La Bulle, will offer monitoring during pregnancy, a variety of preparation techniques for birth and parenthood including support for physiological childbirth and postnatal care at home. With a current situation of increased medicalized births, and budgetary restraints, this is leading to a reduction of nursing staff in maternity wards and the future of childbirth is in danger! Birthing Units accommodate low-risk pregnancies, thus avoiding the use of invasive protocols for births which can progress naturally and safely.</p>

<p>Crowdfunding On November 13, 2019, La Bulle launched its crowdfunding operation. It is important to understand that Birthing Centers are not subsidized or funded by public authorities at all, so in order to furnish La Bulle, we have set a goal of raising at least 9,400 Euros. These funds will contribute to the rent for the first 6 months, and also purchase the necessary equipment to ensure a gentle welcome to the world for our babies who will become the adults of tomorrow</p>
