Midwifery care differs from modern obstetrics in many ways,
but the most noticeable difference is in the time we spend together. Each
appointment is at minimum 30 minutes face to face time. We will discuss your
pregnancy, your plans, and the important topics surrounding this special time. Our
hope is that we will build a relationship based on mutual respect that allows
for a positive birth experience for you and your family. |
