To help busy parents-to-be, we schedule these appointments in a 15 minute slot at the beginning of practitioner sessions.​ 


There's an awful lot to think about during the third trimester!  And in meeting a doctor / visiting a medical practice for the first time, one's mind can go blank.  So it may be helpful to have a list of concerns that often come up.  We hope you find the ones below useful:

Considered A Midwife?

Certified Midwives & Nurse Midwives are independent health care providers; they also work with other members of the health care team, such as physicians and nurses, to provide quality medical care. They offer general health care services, gynecology care, family planning, as well as maternity care (before, during, and after childbirth). They are covered by most insurances.  To find a midwife, click here.


Considered A Doula?
When doulas attend childbirths, studies show labors are shorter with fewer complications, and babies are healthier and breastfeed better.  Some links to check:
