Childbirth Education included in your package:

Prenatal education:  Prenatal education happens at each prenatal appointment with your midwife. This time is tailored to your personal needs during your pregnancy. You are encouraged to include your family in this experience. Children are especially interested in being a part of this exiting time in your life. 

 

Labor, delivery and postpartum education:  This is a 4 hour group class held on a Saturday once a quarter. Labor and birth is covered in the morning and after the potluck lunch shared with the other couples in your class, breastfeeding and newborn care is covered. 

 

Natural pain relief for labor: This is a 2 hour class on Monday evening. In this class you will learn natural pain relief techniques for labor. This class is especially helpful for your birth partner. 

 

Lending library: You will have access to a lending library of books and DVD’s about pregnancy, childbirth, newborn care, nutrition and alternative medicine.

 

 

Prenatal Appointments

 

One hour is scheduled for each prenatal appointment. This allows plenty of time to discuss any questions or concerns you may have and take advantage of the complimentary massage chair.  You are encouraged to include your family in your prenatal appointments and children are always welcome!

Midwifery care offers a significant savings to you. Complete personalized midwifery care packages are on average less than one quarter the cost of OB care and a hospital birth. Most insurance companies will reimburse for midwifery care.  Please call for information about fees for service, available discounts and payment plans.
