BirthWise Maternity Care, LC

Bringing Birth Home    

Midwifery Services

Complete Birth Package:  Personalized maternity care that includes plenty of time during prenatal visits to discuss all of your questions and concerns and plans for your birth.  We spend lots of time discussing nutrition, growth of your baby, pregnancy changes and the labor and birth process.  You are welcome to borrow from our book and video library.  We also include the use of a birth pool, complete with all the required set-up equipment.  The birth pool is left with you at the 36 week home visit for you to set up as you like or we will set it up later in labor if you prefer.  We will do all of the emptying, cleaning and putting away after the birth.  This package does not include lab work, ultrasounds or any doctor/hospital visits should a referral/transfer occur.  We now include towels and all of the disposable birth supplies as part of the package.

 

ªPrenatal office visits at regular intervals including one third-trimester home visit

ªBirth pool with new disposable liner, hose, adaptors, pumps, etc.

ªComplete birth kit, including birth and early postpartum supplies

Transferring to a Homebirth Later in Pregnancy?

 

After 30 weeks—you must have had at least 4 prenatal visits with another health care provider and have received basic lab work.  Includes all of the same great care as the Complete Birth Package.

              Cash Price:  $ 1350    Insurance billing varies

 

36+ weeks—you must have been receiving regular prenatal care with another health care provider and have received basic lab work.  Includes all of the same great care as the Complete Birth Package except that the first visit is in your home and lasts an extra long time so we can get to know each other more quickly.

              Cash Price:  $ 1150    Insurance billing varies

 

Hospital Doula Services—for clients who have transferred from our care to a medical provider during pregnancy and will be planning a hospital birth.  We only provide hospital doula services to women for whom a homebirth is not a good option. You may choose to combine this with prenatal care only and postpartum services for midwife-quality care during a high-risk pregnancy.

 

ª1 prenatal visit to discuss birth plan

ªAttendance by midwife from early labor at home (if appropriate) until 1-2 hours postpartum.

    Cash Price:  $ 400           No insurance reimbursement available

 

Postpartum Services—for clients who have transferred from our care to a medical provider during pregnancy and will be planning a hospital birth.  This is the same postpartum care that is part of our basic birth package, not an additional service, unless you have been planning a hospital birth but don’t want to miss out on the great postpartum care!

 

ª24 hour in-hospital or at-home visit for breastfeeding support

ª4 day home visit

ª2 and 6 week office visits

    Cash Price:   $400                Insurance billing varies

 

Office visit:  prenatal care only or office visit not included in other service package.  If you will be moving or have a high-risk condition, this may be the perfect option for you to receive great prenatal care without having to pay for the entire birth package.  Visits typically last 45min to 1 hour.  Consultation visits are always free. 

       Cash Price:   $ 50              Insurance billing varies
