Labor Support Services

  • Free consultation
  • 2-3 prenatal visits to discuss your birth plans (addn'l visits can be arranged)
  • Discussion of comfort measures and optimal fetal positioning
  • Phone and email support during the prenatal and postpartum period
  • Access to my lending library and resource binder
  • Continuous support during your labor
  • Lactation support, or referrals if needed, following birth
  • A postpartum visit
  • A written birth story from my perspective, if desired

    Continuous support in labor means that I will support you from the beginning of active labor until you are settled in following your birth. If you are birthing in a hospital or birth center, I can either meet you at your home prior to admission or I can meet you there. If you are birthing at home, I will come to your home when you are ready. When giving birth in the hospital, one-on-one support from a nurse, doctor or midwife can be hard to come by- that is when continuous support can be the difference for you.

    Monitrice services also available, contact me for more information.

    Fees

    Labor Support package (includes the above services) $400*

    Additional prenatal visits $25 each

    A non-refundable retainer is due with signed contract, which guarantees that I will be on call for your due date.

    I offer a $25.00 discount if the fee is paid in full upon signing contract.

    I am willing to discuss a sliding scale for those who are income eligible.

    I accept cash, check, money order and credit card payments via PayPal.

    I will give you an invoice that you may submit to your insurance if you wish, however I cannot guarantee that they will pay any or all of the fee.

    *Clients residing, or using a hospital, further than 25 miles away from my home are asked to pay a $50 gas surcharge due to rising fuel costs. I appreciate your understanding!
