HOLISTIC PRENATAL CARE INCLUDING: 

• Appointments with your midwife Jill - midwifery care is primary care during pregnancy
• Appointments are long enough to talk about all your concerns and answer all your questions
• All appointments in your home -  visits are casual and we have time to get to know each other
• Laboratory tests - Jill can draw your blood for comprehensive prenatal testing and refer you for an ultrasound or any specialized testing you may want, including genetic screening
• Referral to a specialist for moms who need advanced care in pregnancy
• Ask me about walking prenatal appointments!
• Herbal medicine to support healthy pregnancy - and beyond

HOME BIRTH SERVICES:

• Your midwife comes to you when labor starts (we will talk all about how to know when you’re in labor) and monitor you and your baby as labor progresses. Jill follows a wellness and prevention model of care, in accordance with the Mother Friendly Childbirth Initiative: http://www.motherfriendly.org/MFCI  This type of supportive, family-friendly healthcare is made up of best practices in maternal health and leads to optimal outcomes. 
• Jill is skilled and equipped to manage many common minor complications of labor and birth
• Hospital transfer for moms who need advanced care - Jill views hospital transfer not as a failure, but an important backup for safe home birth

Appointments and postpartum support continue for 6 weeks after the baby’s birth to help with breastfeeding, your healing, and baby care
