Home Birth
We provide care during birth and work to provide the type of birth that you want. We take great care to follow your birth wishes and let you birth on your terms. Birth fees typically include three midwives to attend to you and your baby.
We also work with a great network of doulas that can help support you and your family through your labor and birth. We can also help you find doulas that will help support your children at your home birth.
Postpartum Care
We see moms and babies at one day, three days, one week, three weeks, six weeks postpartum. we do physical exams on both mom and baby. At the three day visit we do the newborn screen/PKU test if you consent to do it. Most postpartum visits last one to three hours and are all done in your home.
