As of October 1, 2022, we have updated our midwifery packages to the following options:
1. THE NEW BEGINNINGS BUNDLE OF JOY PACKAGE - $4950
~ For the first—time mama and the primary VBAC
This package includes up to 13 prenatal visits; all routine prenatal labs; birth pool rental; anatomy scan ultrasound order and any orders for medically necessary ultrasounds; 3rd trimester visit to your home; arrival at your home when in active labor; attendance at your delivery and immediate postpartum course; 1 day and 1 week postpartum home visits for mama and baby; completion of state-mandated newborn screenings; preparation of birth certificate paperwork; 6 week office postpartum visit for mama and baby; 3 month social office visit; access to prescription medication if needed during pregnancy for pregnancy-related ailments; access to us for questions up to 3 months postpartum; text and phone call communication.
For the first-time mama, we do strongly recommend, and for the primary VBAC we do require, that you hire a doula experienced in homebirth. (If you are a primary VBAC who attempted homebirth or birth center birth and transferred in second stage and underwent a c/s, requirement of a doula may not be necessary). Combined doula and midwifery care significantly increases the opportunity for a spontaneous vaginal delivery; decreases a need for hospital transfer for pain and exhaustion; and if transferred, increases the chance for a hospital vaginal delivery. Ask us for recommendations and discount opportunities.
2. THE PEACEFUL JOURNEY PACKAGE - $4950
~ For mamas who have had a vaginal delivery
This package includes up to 13 prenatal visits; all routine prenatal labs; birth pool rental; anatomy scan ultrasound order and any orders for medically necessary ultrasounds; 3rd trimester visit to your home; arrival at your home when in active labor; attendance at your delivery and immediate postpartum course; 1 day and 1 week postpartum home visits for mama and baby; completion of state-mandated newborn screenings; preparation of birth certificate paperwork; 6 week office postpartum visit for mama and baby; 3 month social office visit; access to prescription medication if needed during pregnancy for pregnancy-related ailments; access to us for questions up to 3 months postpartum; text and phone call communication.
While this package does not require you to hire a doula, if you have never had an unmedicated birth, have always been induced, or are otherwise concerned with support or pain management in labor, we strongly encourage the use of a doula experienced in homebirth. Ask us for recommendations and discount opportunities.
