Thank you for your interest in The Farm Midwifery Center. The services we provide are listed below:
- Prenatal Care
- Labor coaching and delivery by the midwife and her assistants
- At least three postpartum visits including breastfeeding support
- The newborn physical Including newborn screen and hearing screen
- Primary well baby health care
- A six-week check-up for both mother and baby.
If you want to use one of our midwives as your care provider, it is best if you contact us early in your pregnancy, so together we can make a prenatal care and birthing plan.
We also need to discuss when you will travel here for prenatal visits and to give birth. It is important to make sure plans are in place to make it possible for you to arrive in a relaxed and timely manner.
Where will you give birth? Delivering on The Farm Community or at Your Home
There are a number of different homes/accommodations within The Farm Community that our midwives use for deliveries. If you live less than an hour’s drive from The Farm, we may be able to come to your home for the delivery.
If you are renting a birth house in the community, we recommend that you book at least a week before your due date and two weeks after your due date.
Hospital Transport
Most deliveries are natural and can be conducted safely at home or at a birthing house. However, if a situation arises in which the midwives feel it would be safer for the mother and/or the baby to be in the hospital, we will transport you to a nearby regional hospital.
If the mother or the baby needs to be transported, one of our Midwives will go with you and stay with you to labor coach and to interface with the hospital staff until your baby is born and both you and baby are stable. You or your insurance company will be responsible for the hospital costs. You will also still be responsible for The Farm Midwifery Center fee.
