Welcome and Congratulations on your Pregnancy!
Pregnancy, childbirth, and caring for a newborn are some of the most powerful and influential events of a woman's life. I wish for you to feel educated, supported, and nurtured during these important life events. As a midwife I'm dedicated to providing women with safe, personalized, and compassionate out-of-hospital maternity care.
Choosing out-of-hospital care is one of the best choices that you can make for yourself and for your baby. If you and your baby are healthy and you wish to avoid the use of pain medications during your labor, then midwifery care will provide you with a safe, satisfying, and rewarding alternative to doctor-attended birth in a hospital.
In my practice I strive to integrate the emotional, physical, psychological, spiritual, and cultural complexities of your personal history and current lifestyle into your maternity care. I respect you as a unique individual and will work hard to personalize your prenatal care, labor and delivery care, and postpartum care to fit your needs and desires.
My number one priority is to safeguard the health of you and your baby while at the same time avoiding all unnecessary interventions. I will enthusiastically welcome the integration of other midwives, doctors, obstetricians, and perinatologists into your care when and if their expertise becomes necessary.
Again, congratulations on your pregnancy and thank you for considering midwifery care. I hope to have the opportunity to speak with you soon. Call or email to set up your free consultation visit today!
Sincerely,
Erin
