Services

Through this independent home birth practice, I provide hour long prenatal visits in my home office or your home. I follow the current guidelines for prenatal care: monthly visits until 28 weeks, biweekly from 28 to 36 weeks, and weekly visits from 36 weeks and beyond. During these visits, we have the opportunity to discuss your well-being and your family’s well-being as well as checking your blood pressure, drawing labs as indicated, palpating fetal position, measuring for fetal growth, and listening to your baby’s heartbeat. I do not make decisions for you, but rather help you reach a conclusion that fits your family best through discussion, education, and access to research and resources.
