Midwifery
Midwifery is the health science and health profession that deals with pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, in addition to the sexual and reproductive health of women throughout their lives.
Pregnancy Care
At Midwife360 we are committed to providing the Midwifery Model of Care which by definition means evidence-based medicine.
- Information about genetic and all prenatal testing.

All along the way we are vigilant to the results of tests, the recommendations of the MDs we collaborate with, and the needs and wants of our patients. The purpose of prenatal care is first and foremost the search for signs of disease or malfunction in mom or baby that would benefit from medical management, secondarily, and very important for home birth, it is a vehicle to get to know the patient in anticipation of having a very intimate, personal experience with them.
LABOR & DELIVERY
As part of our pregnancy care we anticipate being able to offer birthing services that can take place in a hospital, birthing center or the comfort of your home. We ensure you are fully aware and prepared for the birth you desire. Currently, our services are limited to home birth. We anticipate obtaining hospital privileges beginning in July, 2020 and are working on developing a birth center program before the end of the year.
At the time of your labor and delivery, we carry all the standard supplies, equipment, and medications used in the hospital, including oxygen and IV supplies, vitamin K and erythromycin eye ointment for your newborn as well as the necessities for postpartum care.
