Prenatal Midwifery Care
A home birth is not for every person or every situation. But some pregnant people still desire (and deserve!) the low-intervention, high-touch care that is classic to community midwifery, even if wanting or needing to deliver in a hospital.
For people with low-risk pregnancies, care with a midwife can make a lot of sense. This includes all the individualized, evidence-informed care, empowering you to have more trust in your body and ability to birth.
For higher-risk situations, co-care can also be shared between this practice and another healthcare provider if desired. That way, you get the benefits of care from both a midwife and a doctor.
Midwifery takes a more personal and holistic approach to prenatal care.
Wisdom Within's community-based prenatal care includes:
-
A free consult to meet and see if we would work well together and get your questions answered
-
Prenatal visits that last about 30-60 minutes each, where you can get your questions answered and your concerns heard, all in the comfort of your own home
-
Evidence-informed care that honors your wishes and needs including low-intervention, holistic, hands-on checks on the pregnant person and baby
-
Health screenings, nutrition counseling, herbal advice, personalized guidance, and more during pregnancy
-
Routine standard lab tests and specialized lab tests as needed
-
Referrals to ultrasound providers as needed or desired
-
Direct access to a midwife via calls or messages between visits
-
The familiarity and comfort of a small midwifery care team
-
Lamaze-inspired childbirth education either as part of a group or incorporated into your prenatal care
-
Respect for any traditions, practices, or special wishes you'd like to incorporate into your care. Your pregnancy, your way.
-
Professional consultations with or a transfer of care to a different type of provider if you or your baby require it at any time
