Maternity Services
Baker Midwifery provides comprehensive in-home prenatal care, labor and birth services, postpartum care and newborn care. It is my priority to provide quality education and true informed consent throughout pregnancy, birth and beyond.
Prenatal Visits:
During your in-home prenatal appointments, your care will be individualized to your unique needs. Each prenatal appointment is an hour long to ensure we have ample time to address any questions or concerns, provide education on nutrition and stress management, and review ways to best support you and your growing baby through each stage of your pregnancy. I offer routine labs, tests and ultrasounds, as well as resources for Childbirth Education Classes to ensure you have all the tools you need to birth your baby with confidence.
For families planning a hospital delivery, I also offer individualized prenatal visits to supplement your care with a doctor.
Homebirth:
Homebirth is so much more than an unmedicated birth at home. Welcoming a new soul into your family is a sacred event and a huge transition for the entire family. I believe this sacred time can be honored while still providing quality medical care, support and patience. I truly believe that birth is a natural physiological process that works best when families feel safe, respected and have the space to birth instinctually. During your labor and birth, you will be encouraged to find positions that are most comfortable for you and you will have the option to use my water birth tub or birth stool as desired.
Postpartum Care:
Baker Midwifery offers in-home postpartum care for you and baby. During the 6-weeks following your birth, I will continue your care to ensure you and your baby are thriving. Your postpartum care includes postpartum exams, newborn exams, any desired newborn procedures, breastfeeding support, birth processing and much more. I am also available to you and your baby 24/7 to answer any questions or concerns that arise during the six-week postpartum period.
For families planning a hospital delivery, I also offer individualized postpartum and newborn visits to supplement your care with a doctor.
“Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers--strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.”
