I believe the miracle of birth is a normal natural process and every person has the  right to choose where and how they give birth. My goal is to assist you with your transition into new parenthood.

 Throughout the birth process you will receive labor support as needed, birthing person and fetal assessments will be completed, you will have freedom to move, eat and drink as you desire. Water birth can be accommodated while you enjoy the comfort of the warm water. Skin to skin bonding with your infant immediately after birth and breastfeeding/chestfeeding support without interruption is offered. Constant evaluation and observation of the birthing person and baby during the postpartum period for several hours is provided all the while allowing for family bonding. 

Postpartum visits are scheduled between 24-48 hours after the birth, an optional 5-7 day office visit, a 2 week  office visit for baby and birther and and a 6 week visit for the birther. During this period I will be available for any questions or concerns you may have. Certified Nurse Midwives can care for newborns up to 28 days of age, With this being said, it is encouraged you arrange a primary care provider for your baby as soon as possible. Please contact San Antonio Nurse Midwife for more details and about formulating your specific plan of care.
