Prenatal Care & Home Birth with Coastal Midwifery

We provide compassionate, safe prenatal care and home birth support, ensuring you feel confident and nurtured throughout your journey. Your midwives are on-call for you, especially around your due date. Once active labor is confirmed, the on-call midwife will come to your home to assess and monitor you and your baby, staying with you through birth.

During labor, you’ll be encouraged to eat, drink, and move freely, with options like resting, walking, using a birth ball, shower, or birth tub. A birth assistant will join at the appropriate time to provide extra support for your midwife. No routine IVs, catheters, or continuous fetal monitoring are performed—these are only used if necessary.

After birth, your baby stays with you, with the first hour dedicated to bonding and breastfeeding. A newborn exam, including weight check and optional Vitamin K and erythromycin, is performed afterward. Your midwife and assistant handle clean-up and ensure you are fed, hydrated, and recovering well. They stay with you for 2-4 hours postpartum to monitor you and your baby.

Your midwife continues to support you with home visits at 24 hours and 3-5 days, followed by in-office visits at 2–3 weeks and 6 weeks, ensuring both you and your baby are thriving. During these postpartum visits, we will ensure mom is healing well and baby is thriving, and we include lactation support for every client in our care. We encourage pediatric visits within 72 hours, with recommendations available for natural care providers.

Community Prenatal Care Package with Hospital Birth

Midwives can take the place of an OB for low-risk pregnancies and will maintain the same schedule of prenatal visits throughout your pregnancy. Your midwife will do all of your blood work in her office and will send you to an ultrasound clinic for necessary ultrasounds. When you go into labor, you will receive the on-call provider at the hospital of your choice. Our midwives only attend home births.

Each of your prenatal visits is 30-60 minutes in length so that all of your questions are thoroughly answered and your emotional concerns are addressed. It is our responsibility to ensure that the client and baby are healthy as a whole.

This package provides support through your entire pregnancy, prepares you for a hospital birth with the OB of your choice, and then cares for your postpartum needs.

  • Comprehensive prenatal care in our office
  • Childbirth education
