Prenatal care follows the same schedule as OB care- from about 12-27 weeks we will see each other monthly, 28-36 weeks, we will see each other biweekly, and finally, weekly until up to 43 weeks

Included

Midwives are the keepers of normal physiologic birth. We are trained to notice as soon as something steps out of the realm of normal, and into a need for a higher level of care. This is why we stress the importance of healthy diet and lifestyle during the childbearing year, and then beyond of course! If a need occurs we will accompany you and your partner to the hospital and step down into a doula role. This is optional, but either way, your doctor will have your records and we thank them for being there when there is a need. 

Included

We will keep seeing each other in the PP period for up to 6 weeks. During this time, I will be monitoring the wellbeing of both you AND your baby. If something is a miss, I will refer you to your physician of choice, but otherwise, you don't need to see one, unless you want to, and/or are vaccinating. 

Included

This will be throughout your entire pregnancy, every time we see each other! I will also be sending you education handouts on a regular basis, depending on what week of pregnancy you are in. Prepare to gain wisdom my friend :)

Included

This includes optional PAP and breast exams, whether you are pregnant or not. Some women prefer a midwife to do these exams, rather than an OB in a medical office. 

Included

There is an option to rent a tub for a water birth 

Included

My office is conveniently situated right in town in the city of Clinton, inside Southern Belle Boutique and Salon. Owner Krystil offers a unique set of holistic services that you can safely take advantage of for an extra cost, on top of being able to get your hair done after your prenatal apt!  

Included

I will see you in your home at least once prenatally and twice in the postpartum period. This happens around our 37th week together, and again at the 24 hour, 3 day and sometimes the 1 week PP visits. Visits resume in the office until 6 weeks from then. 

Included

This ALSO happens every time we see each other! Nutrition is THEE most important aspect of general health and bodily function, so I find it very important to address diet and lifestyle several times throughout your pregnancy. No judgement, only encouragement and perseverance to accountability over your own pregnancy.  

Included

I have an extensive literary, and video library for you to educate yourself on the topic of childhood vaccines. Many years ago I decided I would not be vaccinating my future children after my first child experienced several side effects. I absolutely disclose my bias on this topic because the facts are the facts and the data doesn't lie, so in good conscience I must disclose the truth.
