Prenatal Care
Prenatal care can begin at any point in your pregnancy, but the earlier the better! I will see you once a month, until you reach 30 weeks. At that point, I will see you biweekly until the homevisit at 36 weeks. I will see you weekly for the remainder of your pregnancy, and possibly more frequently if you go past 41 weeks. These visits typically take place at my office, The Wise Woman Collective, in Redlands, on Wednesdays or Thursdays, and last an hour or more. At these visits we discuss the importance of nutrition, work through birth fears and pregnancy emotions, and more. If you are a mountain local, and do not wish to travel to Redlands, I will occasionally see clients in their homes on a case by case basis. My fee also includes routine lab work, nutrition consultations, non-diagnostic ultrasound, a childbirth class, and I will be available through EHR messaging, phone, and email throughout your pregnancy.

Homebirth
I will arrive during active labor, which doesn’t always look the same for each client. During the birth, I will be monitoring you and baby frequently, by monitoring fetal heart tones, vitals, etc, while working to achieve a calm and peaceful environment. As an LM, CPM, I can administer medications and herbs for postpartum bleeding, administer oxygen, resuscitate the newborn, start an IV, suture a laceration, and more. Midwives are experts in normal birth, so part of my job is to identify an issue before it becomes a crisis, if transport becomes necessary. I will typically stay about 4 hours after the birth, where I will continue to monitor you and baby, and make sure both are stable before I depart.
Postpartum Care
Postpartum care begins immediately following the birth. A newborn exam, breastfeeding support, help with showering, cleaning up the birth and draining the tub, suturing if there is a vaginal, perineal, or labial tear, hemorrhage management, medications, IV, and herbs if necessary, and more, are all included in my fee. For the first 6 weeks, I will typically be seeing you and baby at 24-48 hours postpartum, and at 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 6 weeks. More visits can be added if necessary for concerns with weight gain, breastfeeding, or PPD. I also register the birth with the county, and help obtain legal and disability documents.
