Already have a provider for your care during your pregnancy and upcoming birth, but seeking something a little more personal and home-birthy to add to the mix? We got you!
We offer various options to meet you where you’re at. Services can include:
Supplemental prenatal visits: experience care with the CNM during your pregnancy as you prepare for your upcoming hospital birth. Receive support unpacking a previous birth, planning for your birth, or getting the perspective of a home-birth midwife. Also available for clients of home birth midwives that do not prescribe medications, if needed for evaluation and prescribing.
In-home postpartum/newborn care: from when you’re back from the hospital, through the first 28 days, care from the midwife for you and baby + care for you at 6 weeks postpartum. Add-on postpartum visits to supplement your birth provider’s offerings.
Concierge home prenatal or postpartum visits: the midwife is mobile! Home visits to check on you (and the baby, if postpartum) to provide personalized care on your time
Care can be appropriate for low and moderate-risk folks, even if home birth isn’t an option for you. Get access to a home birth midwife while you retain your birth provider and plans. Just ask how we might be of service to you!
As always, visits are packed with supportive, empowering, and educational care. Labs and screening/monitoring may be performed by the midwife if needed. Referrals to a higher level of care can always be initiated, if plans need to change.
Are you planning a hospital birth but craving care during your pregnancy and postpartum that is more holistic and personalized than you can find with a hospital-based provider? We’ve got you!
We offer the full scope of midwifery care for your journey, minus care during the birth, at our cozy office in Oak Park (plus telehealth where appropriate) throughout pregnancy and even for the full 6 weeks postpartum, though our “Everything (or Anything) but the Birth” package. We can support your transition to hospital birth, or coordinate care with your birth attendant in the lead up to your birth.
We provide:
A prenatal visit schedule that follows the standard of care
Midwife visits focused on YOU, listening to and responding to your questions and concerns
A holistic approach to your wellness, including support with nutrition, stress management, sleep, and exercise
Abundant educational resources to empower you to make informed decisions and prepare for your birth and postpartum
24/7 on-call support for urgent/emergency matters
On-site lab draws (personally collected by the midwife) for standard prenatal labs
Ordering imaging/ultrasounds as needed
