Home Birth Midwife Care

Lancaster County Midwife

Home Birth MIDWIFERY Package

The home birth package includes prenatal care, labor and birth, and postpartum care.

PRENATAL CARE

Your prenatal care includes personal one-on-one prenatal visits in one of our two offices. We use these visits to get to know each other as well as measure your growing belly and listen to your baby's heartbeat.

LABOR & BIRTH

We attend your labor and birth in your home. Usually your birth will be attended by Marielle Tomlin, CNM and a birth assistant. Our goal is to arrive for your birth when you are in active labor and support you through active labor, transition, pushing, birth, and the immediate postpartum period. We usually leave your home about two to three hours postpartum when you and baby are settled and cozy in bed.

POSTPARTUM CARE

Our nurses will check on you and your new baby in your home for postpartum visits at 24-48 hours and 1-2 weeks after birth. We wholly believe in in-home postpartum care so mom and baby can focus on relaxing and bonding in a safe and comfortable space. Your final six weeks postpartum visit is with the Midwife in one of our offices.
