Home Birth Package

In order to determine if we are a right fit for each other, a free consultation is included in your home birth package. One of the most beautiful aspects of our home birth package is that the same care provider you’ve seen for every prenatal visit is the same provider you will have supporting you during your birth. In addition to providing all aspects of clinical care, we are heart-centered, meaning we provide you with the individualized support you deserve whether it’s emotional, physical, or spiritual.

The home birth package includes all of your prenatal care, counseling and education on numerous topics related to pregnancy, birth, postpartum, breastfeeding, etc., a complementary birth kit, clinical care and support through your labor and birth, and birthing tub for those desiring water birth.

When your birthing time comes, you will have consistent communication as you move through the early stage of labor and recommendations for labor progress and coping techniques will be made as needed. During labor, you will be encouraged to listen to your body and innate birthing wisdom. We strive to practice as “intervention-free” as possible and consider “routine” cervical exams to be an intervention. We will arrive when you are in active labor or request midwife attendance. You will have the freedom to labor and birth in any position you choose. Our standard practices in birth include spontaneous and woman-directed pushing, immediate and continuous skin-to-skin, spontaneous delivery of the placenta, and extended delayed cord clamping (after the placenta has been delivered). Your wishes and values in birth are of utmost importance and will be respected.

Immediately after birth, each client receives thorough postpartum care and breastfeeding support which spans a minimum of two hours. It is our desire to allow you and baby to bond in a peaceful and uninterrupted environment. Unless extenuating circumstances arise, the only separation between Mom and baby will take place during a few aspects of the Newborn Exam, not performed for nearly two hours after birth. The following newborn procedures are offered and performed at your request; administration of vitamin K, errythromycin eye ointment, newborn screening, and critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) screening.

The postpartum period is one of sweetness and vulnerability. A minimum of three postpartum visits will be offered and adjusted according to each client’s individual needs.

The fee for our Home Birth Package is $5,600. Payment plans are available.
