Having a Hospital Birth?

personalized prenatal and postpartum care to families who are giving birth in the hospital.

Prenatal appointments take place in the office or are done virtually and follow the routine schedule of once-a-month appointments through the first and second trimesters (up to 28 weeks). Appointments are then every two weeks until 36 weeks. Around 36 weeks, there is one in-home appointment to review plans for postpartum. After this visit, we meet once-a-week until birth. Appointments are usually 45 to 60 minutes, with the exception of the 36 week “Preparing for Postpartum” visit which may be up to 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

Postpartum appointments include three in-home check ups for mom and baby within the first 10 days and three follow-up office appointments around 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 6-8 weeks.

Although this care package does not include our attendance at the birth, we highly recommend hiring a doula for labor support.
