Childbirth Education Classes/Doula services

One of my birth assistants, Jennifer McCormick (Birth by Design) offers childbirth education classes, in addition to offering her services as a doula.  You can contact her at 308-631-8659. 

Shannon Church (Vintage Doula), also works as my birth assistant, and as a Doula.  She can be reached at 605-877-1085

Prenatal Visits 

At this time, I am doing all prenatal visits at your home or at my home.  I will let you know if/when I open up an office. Prenatal visits are done at the usual intervals, and last from 30-60 minutes. Routine ultrasound and lab testing will be ordered and done in the community and I usually draw the bloodwork myself.

Free Consultation 

I would be happy to meet with you for an initial interview and consultation, to answer questions or address any concerns.

Phone & Email Support 

I'm available to my clients 24 hrs/day.  Feel free to call, text or email any questions or concerns at 727-433-1016.  I find texts or calls to be the easiest and best means of communication.

Fees

Please call me, and we can discuss fees in person. In general, it will be a global fee for prenatal care, delivery and postpartum care. Ultrasound, medications, and lab fees are separate (some of these can be ordered and paid for through your insurance).   I am committed to making Homebirth affordable, and am very flexible. I WILL ALSO MATCH ANY COMPETITOR PRICING.  

I am a MEDICAID PROVIDER, and have a BILLER on board now.  We are able to do Out of Network exception billing for some insurances.  And I can bill all Christian Healthshare programs!

Professional Information 

    I am certified by the ACNM as a Certified Nurse Midwife, and am licensed in SD and WY as a Certified Nurse Midwife. As such, I am legally licensed to provide Midwifery Services. I also carry a DEA license in SD, and am able to prescribe meds if needed.

     I carry all the required equipment, supplies and medications to provide a safe experience for you and your baby. The exception to this are the birth supplies you will need to obtain by your 36th week. A list will be provided to you.

During labor 

We will be in regular contact as you approach your due date.  You will notify me when any signs of labor occur and we will discuss when I will come to evaluate and any management plans. I will be with you during active labor and for the delivery. I most likely will bring an assistant to the birth.  It is your choice to hire a doula or not, but I hightly recommend one, especially for first births.  I will stay at your home after the delivery, until mother and baby are stable - which is usually 3-4 hrs.  In the event that a transport to hospital is required, I will accompany you to the hospital, provide records and help facilitate a smooth transfer of care to hospital staff.

Baby’s first feeding Support 

I encourage the baby to be at breast immediately after the delivery, if possible.  I am an experienced lactation consultant, and will work with you and your baby to achieve successful breastfeeding and additonal support when needed.

Postpartum follow-up visits

You will receive a phone call in the first 24 hrs, to check in and see how you are doing.  I will make a 24-48 hr visit to your home for a mom and baby exam and PKU screening.  Additional 1-2wk and 6-8 wk postpartum exams will be scheduled. At your last visit I can update your PAP smear, if it is due.  We can also discuss Birth Control options and prescribe for it, iif desired.  I also provide  Annual GYN exams.

Community Referrals

I am putting together a list of community resources for education, services and referrals.  Hope to have this available soon!
