Our Services

We recognize that every pregnancy is unique, and consistent, personalized prenatal care is essential to supporting a healthy journey. That is why our prenatal appointments are intentionally 30–60 minutes long—giving us time to truly get to know you and your family, answer your questions, and listen to your concerns. Partners and little ones are always welcome to join you.

Each visit includes education on pregnancy and birth topics, discussion of upcoming decisions, and time to explore your options. We’ll review your health and your baby’s development by checking vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, weight), listening to your baby’s heartbeat, measuring growth, and, when needed, assessing the baby’s position. Lab results and diagnostic tests will also be reviewed and explained. Most importantly, we’ll talk about your hopes, needs, and any concerns—working together to honor your preferences every step of the way. No question is too small; your voice matters here.

Your prenatal schedule will typically include monthly visits until 28 weeks, then every two weeks until 36 weeks, and weekly until your baby arrives.

One of the midwife’s most important roles is to support not just the mother, but the entire family—offering guidance, reassurance, and care throughout this incredible journey.

Community-Based Births (Home and Birth Center)
At Beyond Birth Midwifery, mothers play the lead role in their labor and birth. You're encouraged to eat, drink, move freely, and change positions often—following the natural rhythms of your body. When a woman feels safe and supported, she instinctively seeks out quiet, comforting spaces in which to give birth. Surrounded by people you know and trust, your body releases the hormones that help you relax, open, and bring your baby into the world.

During your labor, the midwife will closely monitor your well-being and your baby’s by checking vital signs and listening to the heartbeat with a handheld Doppler. Vaginal exams are performed only when medically necessary. All essential emergency equipment for both mother and baby is kept nearby in the birth room—close at hand, but out of the way.

After birth, your baby is immediately placed on your chest for warmth and bonding. There is no rush to cut the umbilical cord, allowing this sacred moment to unfold naturally. A full newborn exam is done right at your bedside—after you've had time to breastfeed, bond, and rest with your baby.

Hospital Births
If you are planning a hospital birth, you'll head to your chosen hospital when it's time to be admitted in labor. All relevant medical records will be sent to the hospital of choice at 37 weeks gestation.

Laboring and giving birth in water can be one of the most soothing and comforting options during childbirth. Warm water promotes relaxation, reduces pain, and can help the body progress more naturally through labor. At Beyond Birth Midwifery, we offer the option for water birth in both home and birth center settings, giving you the freedom to choose what feels most supportive for you.

Postpartum care is one of the many aspects that make midwifery care truly special. The hours, days, and weeks following birth are a time of incredible change for both you and your newborn. To support you during this important period, we offer a follow-up visit in your home within 24–48 hours after birth, followed by office visits at two weeks and six weeks postpartum.

These visits provide valuable opportunities to connect, monitor your healing, support breastfeeding, track your baby’s growth, and attend to your emotional well-being. We’re also here to assist with any family planning needs as you transition into this new chapter of life.
