Pregnancy & Home Birth Guidance

Consistent, unrushed prenatal care—start to fourth trimester.

From your first prenatal at 10–12 weeks through postpartum, you’ll see the same midwife who knows your preferences and history. We build your birth plan, team, and safety net together. We also offer earlier start prenatal appointments if there are any concerns or a history of loss.

Care covers:

  • 15+ prenatal, postpartum, and newborn visits

  • Screening recommendations and informed choice counseling

  • Nutrition, movement, and birth prep education

  • Emergency & transfer planning with clear protocols

  • Labor support at home; water birth option if desired

  • Immediate newborn care & Golden Hour protection

  • 2+ Home visits (36 weeks and 24-48 hours postpartum)

  • Community referrals (doula, pelvic floor, lactation, chiropractor, acupuncture)
