Midwifery care may be a wonderful fit if you:

• Desire a natural, physiologic approach to birth

• Want longer, more personalized prenatal appointments

• Value shared decision making

• Prefer continuity with the same providers throughout pregnancy

• Want your partner and family actively involved

• Are planning a home birth or birth center birth

• Are interested in hospital birth with prenatal and postpartum midwifery care

Not sure? We'd love to meet you during a consultation.

For pre-conception, pregnancy, birth and postpartum for you & your baby.

We follow the same appointment schedule in pregnancy as a typical OB.

Whether you’re planning for a future home birth, or are 6 weeks or 32 weeks pregnant we’d love to support your journey into parenthood!

During your prenatal care you can expect:

Comprehensive Health Assessment

• Medical history

• Ongoing risk assessment

• Blood pressure

• Labs

• Ultrasound referrals

Education & Preparation

• Nutrition

• Childbirth education

• Breastfeeding preparation

• Birth planning

Support Throughout Pregnancy

• Direct access to your midwives

• Referrals when appropriate

• Community resources

Throughout your pregnancy, you'll build a relationship with the same midwives who will care for you during labor, birth, postpartum, and newborn care. By the time labor begins, you'll already know the people walking alongside you through one of life's most important moments.

What does labor & birth look like with our midwives?

Birth is one of life's most transformative experiences, and we believe every family deserves skilled, compassionate, and individualized care throughout the process.

When labor begins, we'll guide you through the early stages, help determine when it's time for us to join you, and remain available by phone or text as questions arise. Once active labor is established, your midwife and birth assistant will join you at your home or the birth center to provide continuous support throughout labor, birth, and the immediate postpartum period.

Supporting Physiologic Birth

Our role is to protect and support the normal physiologic process of birth whenever possible. We encourage movement, upright positioning, nourishment, hydration, water therapy, massage, relaxation techniques, and other comfort measures that help labor progress naturally while honoring your individual preferences.

Clinical Assessment Throughout Labor

While we strive to create a calm and supportive birth environment, we are continually assessing the well-being of both you and your baby. Throughout labor we monitor maternal vital signs, labor progress, fetal well-being, and any changes that may require additional evaluation, consultation, or transfer of care. We believe in shared decision making and will discuss our recommendations with you every step of the way.

Immediately After Birth

Following your baby's birth, we remain with your family for several hours to monitor your recovery and your baby's transition. We perform a comprehensive newborn examination, support skin to skin contact and breastfeeding, assess maternal recovery, and ensure both parent and baby are stable before leaving your home or the birth center.

Prepared for the Unexpected

Although most pregnancies and births progress normally, our midwives are trained to recognize complications early and respond appropriately. We carry emergency medications, equipment, and newborn resuscitation supplies, maintain current emergency certifications, and have established relationships with physicians and hospitals should consultation or transfer become necessary.

Our goal is to provide safe, evidence informed care while preserving the dignity, autonomy, and unique experience of every family we serve.

By the time our journey comes to a close, we are woven together through the intimacy of birth and the bond of motherhood.

We continue to support, encourage and guide you with:

• Follow-up care appointments: postpartum visit within the first 72 hours, and again at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 6 weeks postpartum

• Breastfeeding counseling and support

• Newborn physical exams and weight checks

• Metabolic newborn screening tests done at initial postpartum visit and again at the 2 week visit - additional fee for 2nd screening with the exception of clients with Medicaid

• Continued assessments of the physiological and emotional well-being of the new mother

• Pap smears available at final postpartum visit, if desired/needed and declined at initial prenatal

• Family dynamics/Sibling advice

• Family planning counseling

• Documentation of birth certificate and social security filed with the state

Midwifery care with us is still an option! We offer a midwifery care package that covers all of your prenatal and postpartum appointments. For your birth we offer a doula to accompany you in the hospital if desired. You do have the option to labor at the birth center before it’s time to be admitted for additional support.

This is perfect for families not comfortable having their baby out of hospital. We offer co-care for high risk pregnancies where you would need to establish care with our consulting physician and or a MFM.

Yes. Community midwifery includes recognizing when consultation, collaboration, or transfer of care is appropriate. We maintain relationships with local physicians, maternal fetal medicine specialists, imaging centers, laboratories, and hospitals to help ensure our clients receive the care they need throughout pregnancy.

We have recently transitioned and are no longer in-network providers. You can find more information here on insurance reimbursement.

That's exactly why we offer consultations. Choosing your maternity care provider is an important decision, and we encourage you to ask questions, compare your options, and find the provider that's the best fit for your family. We'd be honored to meet you and help you determine whether our practice is right for you.
