One hour prenatal visits with a two hour initial visit are provided at my office in Eatonville, WA. Each visit is an opportunity for you to ask questions, receive evidence based information about pregnancy, labor and birth topics, and check on the wellbeing of yourself and your baby. The prenatal visit schedule is every 4 weeks until 28 weeks, every 2-3 weeks until 36 weeks, and weekly from 36 weeks until your birth (a home visit will be scheduled between 36-37 weeks). Once labor is established, the birth team will arrive at your house to provide labor support. Waterbirth is supported and encouraged as a form of natural pain relief. We stay at your house for 3-4 hours after the birth to monitor vitals for you and baby. A full newborn exam is performed. We ensure that you and your partner eat a nourishing meal, you have an empty bladder, the laundry is started, and the birth tub is drained and dismantled. Your house will be as clean as when we arrived! Postpartum is a sacred yet challenging time. I offer a unique model of postpartum care that offers more home visits and increased support. I will visit you at home on day 1, day 3, and day 5 to prepare meals, do light housekeeping, and prepare herbal teas and baths for your healing journey. Visits are also scheduled at week 2, week 4, and week 6.
