When Labor Begins.

Once your active labor becomes established, I will attend to you and provide one-­‐on-­‐one care throughout the birth process. During the early hours post-­‐delivery, my focus is preserving a healthy, bonded transition for you and your baby, as well as assisting the initiation of breastfeeding.

Following your birth, our early postpartum care includes home visits during the first week, followed by scheduled clinic visits for six additional weeks. During this time, I provide all routine primary care for both you and your newborn. After 6 weeks, I discharge your care back to your family physician.

Indications may arise during your care that require consultation with another care provider. At these times, due to developing health concerns, care will be transferred to an OB/GYN. Should this occur, I will remain involved in your care through a supportive role.
