Labor & Birth

  • at 36 weeks, when we go on-call for you.

    At that time, one of our midwives will come to your home and review a checklist of items and topics to finalize your preparations for giving birth. During that visit, she also reviews signs of labor and explains how to contact us when these signs begin.

    We determine when to come to our home on a case-by-case basis in order to provide the best physical and emotional support possible.

  • Once we arrive, our individualized care continues as we focus primarily on supporting your own natural process, in addition to gathering clinical information, orchestrating the continued support from your loved ones (as needed), setting things up in preparation for the birth, and maintaining respectful attention to the progress of labor and mama’s & baby’s well-being.

  • we monitor and assess mama and baby, clean up, help with nursing when needed, and perform a newborn exam.
