Tender Gifts Midwifery & Birth Center’s Superior Care, Althea Hrdlichka and Her Team Have Mastered Out-Of-Hospital Birth Safety

Fort Collins, CO. Oct 27, 2022 – According to the American Association of Birth Centers, women who received care in birth centers had better outcomes than in hospitals across the nation, particularly when it comes to low-risk, vaginal births. 

Other studies have also found that birth center care is associated with improved maternal satisfaction and a more positive childbirth experience. Women who give birth in birth centers often report feeling more in control of their birth experience and having better communication with their care providers.

Tender Gifts Midwifery & Birth Center focuses on giving the mother and family a comfortable environment that promotes emotional stability, and in turn makes for a healthier, happier birthing and postpartum experience. Quite the opposite of how hospitals treat women in labor.   

Healthcare in today’s society is perceived as the best medical practice we’ve ever had. However, hospitals are still way behind in providing care for women’s health, especially for those who choose a natural, unmedicated birth. Many times hospitals treat birth as a medical procedure rather than a natural occurrence, often making the birthing process uncomfortable and mechanical. When these procedures happen, many times it rolls into a cascade of interventions that turn into medical emergencies due to the woman’s body and baby being unable to handle them. 

Often, hospitals will restrict mothers from moving around, forcing them to remain on their backs while giving birth, making labor and delivery unnecessarily more painful. Hospitals deny or limit mothers’ food and water while giving birth, despite any medical evidence that this helps with labor. And in actuality, it is quite the opposite because when this happens, a woman’s fight or flight hormones move into overdrive which can then stall labor and create an unstable environment for birthing, thus, causing the need for more interventions. Tender Gifts describes this type of birth as a “conveyor belt” birth that can lead to unwanted outcomes, such as using more medications, cesarean births, etc. 

In contrast, birth centers often allow for more freedom of movement and a more relaxed environment during labor and delivery. Many birth centers encourage mothers to move around, change positions, and use hydrotherapy (such as laboring in a tub or shower) to help manage pain and promote progress during labor. Birth centers may also allow mothers to eat and drink during labor, as long as it is safe for both the mother and the baby. Allowing mothers to move freely and have access to food and water during labor can help create a more positive birth experience and may reduce the need for interventions. This type of care, often referred to as “physiologic birth,” can help support the natural process of childbirth and can lead to better outcomes for both mothers and babies.

At Tender Gifts Midwifery & Birth Center, owner Althea Hrdlichka, has dedicated their practice to the health, safety, and empowerment of giving birth. At Tender Gifts, you’ll find certified and licensed professionals who will be with you every step of the way. From preconception through prenatal care, labor and delivery, newborn care, postpartum, and even well-woman care, Hrdlichka and her team will provide the medical and emotional support every mother and family needs. 

In addition to providing care throughout pregnancy, labor, and delivery, Tender Gifts also offers a range of services to support women and families after birth. This includes newborn care, postpartum support, and well-woman care.

The team at Tender Gifts is committed to working with each woman and family to ensure that their childbirth experience is as positive and empowering as possible. They strive to provide the medical and emotional support that every mother and family needs to feel confident and supported during this important time.

Safety is of the utmost importance at Tender Gifts Midwifery & Birth Center. In the rare case of health emergencies that require hospital care, their location is only 1.9 miles away from the nearest hospital, making transferring patients quick and easy. However, the rate of patients needing transfers continues to decline. 

The freedom mothers have at Tender Gifts brings humanity back to giving birth. Hrdlichka strategically planned all the best practices to guarantee safety and comfort, even down to how furniture is spaced! She not only has 4 children herself, but she has also attended over 600 births and knows firsthand how much of a difference having a family-friendly, empowering facility and team can make for every mother and newborn.

Ash Khandelwal Highlights the Massive Potential in the Automotive Industry Urging Investors to Invest Now Rather than Later

Every growing industry greatly rewards early adopters. The difference between good investors and great investors lies in their ability to recognize the potential opportunities in an emerging market, allowing them to capitalize on the latest movements and developments bubbling to the surface. 

With recent automobile trends, the industry has become ripe for the taking. Further exacerbated by the ongoing transition to electronic/autonomous vehicles, asset-backed lending programs, and seamless car purchasing technologies, any investor worth their salt would recognize the underlying potential in this thriving industry.

These are the sentiments of Ash Khandelwal, the chairman, and CEO of the private equity fund Ash Capital. Seeing the growing demand for advanced automotive technology, the firebrand entrepreneur urges other investors to capitalize on the emerging market before it’s too late. 

Ash Capital is no stranger to success in the automotive industry. Known for focusing on vehicle wholesale and exotic rental companies, the company has seen tremendous revenue from Khandelwal’s remarkable insights.

By diving into these automotive sectors, Ash Capital and its investors have reported an average investor annual yield of 15%. The company’s latest investment in the industry grew from  $250,000 in revenue for 2021 to a whopping $13,046,430.70 by Q3 2022. The company projects these numbers to soar by the end of Q4, adding $3.25 million more to the already massive valuation.

As a leader in the automotive technology space, Ash Khandelwal highly prioritizes the further expansion of his company into these sectors as he foresees even more industry growth in the near future. To do this, Ash has heavily invested in a robust network of long-term relationships in the automotive industry to help scale his company’s investment and continue to raise the average investor’s annual yield per annum.

Ash Khandelwal firmly believes that the automotive industry will become more prominent than ever before. As of writing, the automotive sector has already seen a spike in government support for electric vehicles to make way for more sustainable global efforts in curbing the harmful effects of fossil fuels. “Many countries worldwide have set ambitious targets for adopting these technologies and are implementing policies to support their growth,” shared Khandelwal.

There’s also the fact that consumers nowadays are trending towards more socially responsible products. As a result, there is a growing customer demand for electric vehicles as concerns about climate change and pollution continue to grow. “More and more consumers are looking for environmentally friendly transportation options,” explained Khandelwal. “Electric and autonomous vehicles offer a clean and convenient alternative to traditional fossil fuel-powered cars and are becoming increasingly popular among consumers,” he added.

Ash Khandelwal also cited the rapid technological developments in the automotive industry as a key reason investors should flock toward the sector as soon as possible. Investors could choose to fund the development of the latest cutting-edge technologies that will inevitably shape the future of the automotive landscape, allowing them to reap the benefits of the ongoing market transition. 

Ultimately, Ash Khandelwal bears witness to a massive opportunity in the automotive industry. Prioritizing the development of the industry above all else, he predicts vast returns for his company’s investors and urges others to follow suit. This is only the beginning of the evolution of the automotive industry. 

These developments have been a long time coming, but we are now finally feeling the effects of this inevitable transition. It’s only a matter of time before the entire world recognizes the potential of this growing market. While the rest of the world lies in wait, investors who take advantage of this opportunity now will be well-positioned to capitalize on the growth of the automotive technology and lending markets.
