"I am dedicated to helping you make this work and never want finances to be the reason you don't have a homebirth. I will work with you as much as possible to come up with a plan to make this attainable either through flexible payment plans, a sliding scale for those on medicaid, or billing insurance when possible. Please feel free to ask any questions and we can talk about different options for payment plans during a consultation or visit."

Prenatal Care

With each prenatal you are provided with individualized and holistic care. Prenatals offer us time to monitor you and your baby's health while addressing any questions or concerns you may have. Each appointment is scheduled for an hour so you never feel rushed.
After the initial visit prenatal appointments are scheduled:
·Every 4 weeks until 28-30 weeks
·Every 2 or 3 weeks until 36 weeks
·Every week from 36 weeks until birth

Labor & Birth

Once you are 37 weeks I will be on-call to attend your birth. ​During your labor I will be monitoring both you and your baby’s vitals, continually evaluating and ensuring everything is progressing and within normal limits. I carry equipment such as dopplers, blood pressure cuff, pulse ox, and suturing supplies as well as medications such as oxygen, hemorrhage control medications and IV supplies.
I will be there to catch your baby or help you catch your baby. After welcoming your baby I will stay several hours to continue to monitor you and your baby.

Postpartum

Postpartum is a time of integration and healing. Integrating new life to outside the womb and healing your body, mentally, emotionally and physically. I will continue to monitor both you and the baby for 6 weeks. Your first two visits will be in your home with the remainder in office. I offer newborn metabolic screening, hearing screening and CCHD screening, if desired.
The first 3 postpartum appointments are done in your home and as many postpartum appointments in office as you would like.

Althea Midwifery is a very small practice and takes a very limited amount of clients per month. I do this in order to meet the individual needs that each pregnancy brings. Every person is unique and every pregnancy is different, don't you deserve individualized, holistic care?

Are doulas and midwives the same?
Doulas are amazing for labor support and comfort measures throughout labor. While a midwife is a healthcare professional, trained to monitor the health of you and your baby, a doula is trained and highly experienced in helping you cope throughout labor.  
We love doulas! 
If you are interested in having a doula contact Thrive for a homebirth discount!
