I believe the best health care incorporates the whole person and we will spend time discussing nutrition, exercise, physical discomforts, family, work, and of course your hopes and dreams for your pregnancy, birth and baby. Your prenatal visits will last approximately one hour with most of our time together spent talking and getting to know each other. Part of that time we will check your vital signs (pulse, blood pressure), urine, measuring uterine growth, assessing fetal position, and listening to baby’s heart rate.  Our appointments occur monthly until 32 weeks of pregnancy, then every two weeks until 36 weeks, and weekly until birth.

When you go into labor we will communicate by phone and I or my assistant will be available to come to your home whenever you are ready for us to be there. In labor we will be checking your vitals and the baby’s heart rate. We will monitor your fluid and food intake, rest and activity, and facilitate comfort measures. Our job is to support you in your needs.

We will be visiting you in your home for a one day, three day and one week visit. We will also see you at two and six weeks. During these visits we check the well being of both mother and baby, answer questions and talk about life with your baby.
