Prenatal Visit at Our Services Page

Prenatal Visits

Our prenatal visits are 45-60 minutes long. During that time, we discuss upcoming milestones, testing options, emotional and physical health including nutrition, birth class and doula recomendations, preparation for labor, birth and postpartum and answer any questions you may have. The last 10-15 minutes are dedicated to vitals, fetal heart tones, fundal measurement and baby's position.

Labor and Birth at Our Services Page

Labor and Birth

We love to communicate with you throughout your whole labor. When it comes time for the midwives to arrive at your home, we will monitor vital signs, baby position and fetal heart tones as needed. We assist with coping measures including hydrotherapy, eating and drinking, and facilitate movement and position changes as desired. Delayed cord clamping and Golden Hour bonding are standard for our practice. If desired we will assist with basic latch and lactation assistance.

Prenatal Testing at Our Services Page
