Services

At Laura the Midwife, (as a state licensed and nationally certified midwife) I offer complete primary midwifery services that include prenatal, labor/birth and postpartum care, all in the comfort of your own home.

I bring over 30 years of birthwork knowledge and experience as a midwife (home and birth center), counselor, childbirth educator, hospital doula, breastfeeding counselor, spiritual guide, parent and grandparent.

My passion involves working together with new parents to gently, safely and lovingly welcome new little ones into their lives and families!

As your midwife I will provide continuity of care for you and your family throughout your childbearing year that includes 24 hour on-call availability during the time of your “due month”.

Laura the Midwife will provide you with the necessary supplies for your homebirth and your two attendant birth team will stay to fully clean up afterwards. We will assure that you and baby are stable and resting comfortably before we leave your home and will continue to provide on-call availability during your early postpartum period.

Your baby will receive a complete newborn exam following birth as well as all newborn screenings (CCHD, blood spot, and hearing) available to newborns in Minnesota, done right in your home by your midwife.

Postpartum care visits will be provided at home for both you and baby, several times during the first week and continuing with regular visits until eight weeks postpartum.

In the rare case of complications necessitating transport to hospital, your midwife can accompany you for in-hospital support, as well as provide continued postpartum care once you and baby return home.

I look forward to accompanying you and your growing family on this amazing journey of pregnancy and birth! Contact me on the link below to set up your complimentary consultation and to have your questions answered.
