Prenatal care: We recommend that your first visit be around 8 weeks. This visit entails a history, physical, and bloodwork, which we do onsite. If you do not want
first trimester screening AND if you want to hear the baby’s heartbeat at the FIRST visit, we recommend that your first visit be around 12 weeks. Thereafter, your visits are monthly until 28 weeks, every two weeks until 36 weeks, and weekly until 40 weeks. We do a home visit around 36 weeks. Home birth: We come to your home when you are in active labor, and stay for about 3-4 hours after. We do another home visit in 24-48 hours. Postpartum care: We offer a two week postpartum visit, and recommend a six week postpartum visit.

Waterbirth: WE LOOOOVE
WATERBIRTH! Water for labor and/or birth is the laboring mama’s best friend and, hands down, the best non pharmacologic pain relief available. Routine gynecological care: Once we’ve helped you have your baby, we hope we have you for life! We do annuals, checkups, contraception, and can manage minor gynecologic problems. Referral to physician care as needed: We have a physician who takes care of women who have problems or needs procedures that are outside of our scope of practice, such as cesarean sections, colposcopies, and conditions requiring surgery.
