The Process
Feel free to call to schedule an interview. As I can only take
a limited amount of clients each month I would recommend that you
call as soon as you feel you'd like to meet to assure availability.
Once we’ve interviewed and feel we’d like to move forward
in working together I will provide you with a contract. Payment
is due at that time (payment arrangements can be made if necessary).
Approximately two months before your due date we will schedule
our first prenatal visit. The second visit will follow about one
month before your due date. Each visit is usually about an hour
long.
The average amount of time I spend with a first time mother in
labor is 20 hours. After the baby is born I will help you to get
your newborn on the breast. You may still call anytime with breastfeeding
or other questions.
Approximately one to six weeks after the birth (it’s up to
you) I will come to your house for a postpartum follow-up visit.
At this meeting I will give you your birth log and photos and a
newborn massage lesson (if you desire)
The Cost
$1500.00
I am prepared to step out of my life on a moment's notice and am committed
to staying with you throughout the entire process of birthing your
baby.
I will come to your home during labor, or meet you at the hospital
whenever you are ready and whichever is most appropriate for your
labor.
I am on call for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (including holidays)
