PRENATAL CARE
Individualized, holistic prenatal care.
In an impersonal maternity care system where providers spend an average of five to ten minutes with their patients during prenatal visits, most folks aren't getting their questions answered and feel like their care is lacking personalization. Even if you don't plan to give birth to your baby at home, you can utilize complementary midwifery prenatal care for a more positive, wellness-focused and well-rounded foundation of prenatal care for you and your growing baby.
Midwifery care is known for promoting wellness, reducing risks and improving outcomes during pregnancy and birth. A huge part of this process takes place during prenatal care. Your prenatal visits will focus on care that is individualized to your specific needs, with visits averaging 45-60 minutes. All of your concerns are addressed, all questions are answered, and you will leave our visits feeling positive and empowered.
