Safe & Sound Midwifery

This service currently costs $2400 (plus birth supplies) and includes: 

• An initial consultation to get to know each other, learn more about your pregnancy and discuss informed disclo-sure, scope of practice and financials. 

• Regular prenatal visits and exams, every 4 weeks until week 28,  bi-weekly from week 28 through week 36 and weekly until your birth.

• Unscheduled visits as needed, for reasons such as you aren’t feeling well or you have a specific concern or issue that requires immediate attention.

• Referrals to nurse-midwives, physicians or other health care providers for consultation or further testing if the need arises during your prenatal period.

• Childbirth education, either privately or in group classes.  Classes can also be incorporated into your regular prenatal visits if you desire.

• Care during your labor and birth:  I will come to your home when you are in labor, monitor you and your baby for problems, offer suggestions for coping & relaxation techniques and help you (or your partner) catch your baby.

• A second fully-trained midwife to assist us at your birth.

• Immediate & ongoing postpartum care: I will remain after your birth for a minimum of 3 hours to ensure you and your baby are stable and help you with breastfeeding.  I will return to check on you within 24 hours and then visit you every day for five days.  After that we see each other once or twice a week until you are fully recovered, usually within 4-6 weeks after the birth.

• All newborn exams and state-required screenings, copies of which are provided for your pediatrician.   

• Assistance with obtaining your baby's Birth Certificate.

• Placenta processing and encapsulation.  (See bottom of Services page for more information.) 

• Telephone support during your pregnancy and during your postpartum recovery.

• Any necessary billing or paperwork that may be needed for your insurance company.  (Unfortunately, very few insurance companies cover home birth, but we can try.)

• Labor support in the hospital in the event that you want or need to be there.
