We Remember: Saturday Oct 3, 2015

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 02 Oct 2015 12:19:00 +0000
Perinatal bereavement, the loss associated with pregnancy or infancy, is an intensely personal grief. While it is individual and personal, it also ripples out and touches the entire community. On Saturday, October 3, 2015, an interfaith service honoring perinatal loss will be hold in Troy, NY.

This service is for all of us that have ever been touched by the loss of a pregnancy or baby. This service is for parents of babies lost, and for those that furvintly dreamt of being parents. This service is for the surviving siblings, grandparents, aunts and uncles. This service is for people like me, the midwives, nurses, doctors, and so many others, that care for for these women, their families and the sweet babes that died too soon.

Please join us as we gather together to honor babies we have loved, babies we will always love. Join us in listening to music of harp and voice, lighting candles, and together, lifting up our hearts.

We Remember:
An Interfaith Memorial Service Honoring Perinatal Loss

Saturday, Oct 3rd at 1:30

Announcement: K. Michelle Doyle Granted Admitting Privileges at Bellevue Hospital

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 10 Sep 2015 12:21:00 +0000

Local Care Midwifery, PLLC (LCM) is pleased to announce that K. Michelle Doyle, CNM, NYS LM now has admitting privileges at Bellevue Women's Hospital in Niskayuna, NY.

LCM opened in August of 2009, specializing in personalized Well Women Care and Planned Home Birth Services. We continue to do just that. Now, six years later, in September 2015, we also offer midwifery services for women needing, or desiring hospital care. With Michelle now having privileges, LCM clients are able to have Michelle as a provider if they are admitted to Bellevue.

Planned home birth is just that, planned: not all planned home births occur at home. With LCM's care, about 94% of women that start labor planning a home birth actually birth at home. That also means that about 6% transfer from home to a hospital for the birth of their child. Most transfers from planned home birth to hospital birth are not emergent, but due to need for pain relief not available at home, or lack of timely progress in labor. Going forward, the few LCM clients that do transfer in labor, may opt to go to Bellevue and have Michelle as their admitting provider. Some women that plan to birth at home have their plans change prior to active labor. For example, if a women goes into labor at 35 weeks, a home birth is contraindicated. Having privileges at Bellevue, a Level Two Perinatal Center, K. Michelle Doyle, CNM, NYS LM, could attend the birth, and the baby would also have immediate access to a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) if needed.

With Michelle being granted admitting privileges at Bellevue, LCM can now offer Planned Hospital Birth services. Some clients will utilize this option because of personal preferences, some because of specific medical or social conditions. Planned home birth is know to be safest when the client is at term, generally healthy, and pregnant with one baby in a head down position: not all women fit this template. With admitting privileges at Bellevue, LCM can expand the services we offer.

Join us in congratulating Michelle on continuing and expanding midwifery care options for women of the Capital District. If possible, join us in person on Sunday, October 4 from 12-5, for LCM's sixth annual Autumn Open House, 35 Dearstyne Road, Troy, NY.

Birth is hard work for a baby.
Then there are all the family members to meet, the photographs to be taken, and the hugs and kisses.
Good thing for naptime!
