All prenatal visits take place in the comfort of my clients' homes. Visits generally last 30 minutes to an hour, and consist of vital sign checks, assessment of baby's growth, nutritional counseling, labor, birth and breastfeeding preparation, and addressing any questions or concerns.
When it's time to have your baby, labor and birth in the comfort of your own home, with the assurance that you'll be attended to by experienced, skilled midwives.
We provide full postpartum services, which include staying with clients for several hours after birth to provide support, physical exams, assist with breastfeeding, and answer any questions you may have. We return for follow up visits on day two, day 7, and six weeks after birth, or as needed. All of these services are provided to you in the comfort of your home.
“We absolutely loved Ann and the calm, knowledgeable energy she brought to every visit! It was so wonderful to not have to leave the house, as she came to us every time. The kids got to be a part of every visit, hear the baby's heartbeat, etc.
This labor was pretty quick, and Ann was right there making sure everything was running smoothly. We welcomed our little guy after only 3ish hours of active labor, and I'll never forget what a wonderful experience it was."
