Midwifery care with me means: Regular prenatal appointments in the comfort of your own home/shared office space on the following schedule:
Monthly Prenatals from 10-12 weeks until 28 weeks
Bi-monthly visits from 28-36 weeks
Weekly appts from 37 weeks-birth
Active labor, Birth, immediate postpartum period
being “on-call” for you from 37 weeks gestation until birth.
Postpartum visit at 24-48 hours
Visit at 2 weeks
Visit at 4-6 weeks
At these appointments , we take vitals of mom and baby and discuss of nutrition, exercise, rest, and emotions.. Care also includes basic labs, birth kit, birth pool lending, newborn congenital heart screen, Comprehensive newborn exam, ect.
Newborn care is included in this midwifery service. Newborn exam and assessment will be made at each postpartum visit. Midwife will assume care of the healthy newborn for the first six weeks. Referral for pediatric care will be made if it becomes necessary. Some will not see a pediatrician until after this time. Some may want to establish care within the first 6 weeks.
During labor another birth attendant will be at your birth. Every effort will be made for you to meet her before you give birth, most ideally at your 36 week “Birth Team Meeting”.
$5500 for services
I can bill PPO insurance for reimbursement, as an out-of-network provider. Sometimes they pay 40-60%. Occasionally they will pay 100% it depends on your plan. We can run an estimate of benefits.
