Midwifery Care: What to Expect

Consultations
During a consultation we can go over any questions you may have regarding out-of-hospital birth with a midwife or what my services entail. This time is an opportunity for us to connect, address your concerns, and see if we’re a good fit. We can meet in your home, my home office, or at a mutually convenient location.

Prenatal Care:
Prenatal care is an integral part of midwifery. During each visit we will take the time to sit down, get to know each other, discuss any concerns, take vitals, discuss any labs or ultrasounds, feel and listen to your baby, and plan for your upcoming delivery.
Prenatal Care Schedule:
Up to 28 weeks: Every 4 weeks
28-36 weeks: Every 2 weeks
36-40+ weeks: weekly
Labor & Delivery:
Leading up to your labor, we will maintain close communication to track your symptoms and labor progression. When your contractions indicate active labor, the midwife and her assistant will come to your home. Upon arrival, we will assess your progress, monitor for any potential complications, and provide continuous support. Our goal is to guide, support, and empower you as you welcome your baby in the comfort of your home, with expert care by your side.
Following the birth, our team will remain with you for 2 to 4 hours, depending on your needs. During this time, we encourage uninterrupted bonding with your baby and provide guidance on nursing, while also monitoring your well-being and ensuring your space is clean and comfortable. Every birth is unique, and our midwives are highly trained to support a variety of situations and personal preferences, ensuring a safe and empowering experience.

Postpartum Care
& Wellness
Postpartum care includes a series of visits over six weeks, during which the midwife will check in on both you and your baby. These visits focus on monitoring for any signs of complications, postpartum depression, or anxiety while also providing support and guidance. We offer holistic care recommendations, breastfeeding assistance, and practical tips to help you navigate life with your newborn, ensuring a smooth and supported transition for your whole family.
