What do you expect from me as a

I expect you to take responsibility for your care. This includes coming to your prenatal visits, prepared to learn about your pregnancy and birth. You need to take an active role in preparing for your birth; learn skills to work through labor. You need to be honest with me about your history and what is happening as your pregnancy progresses. This is important to keep you safe during your pregnancy and birth.

What happens at prenatal visits?

each visit includes updating history, evaluating growth of the uterus, maternal blood pressure, listening to baby’s heartbeat and working through a teaching checklist appropriate to the point in pregnancy. We talk about childbirth education options, ways to improve comfort in pregnancy, preparing for the birth.

What is included in birth fee?

All pregnancy visits, care in labor/birth, postpartum visits. You would be responsible for outside lab fees, outside ultrasound and some supplies for birth (a small supply box costing approx. $40) If you are self-pay or have a large deductible, we are able to find you less expensive lab and ultrasound costs.
