Certified Professional Midwife in Las Vegas, Nevada
Midwife Services
Prenatal Care
Together, we will go over your complete medical history to create a personalized birth plan. We will also discuss pregnancy, birth, and postpartum topics at each visit. As your midwife, I provide regular prenatal appointments for you and your baby. I offer physical exams, a full range of lab work, testing, as well as referrals for outside services--such as ultrasounds.
Well Woman Care
I can see women for many health needs and annual exams. This includes annual health exams, pap smears, STI screenings, and blood work for common issues--like anemia and thyroid issues. In many cases, we can try a natural treatment approach-- like herbs, vitamins, or supplements. If more specialized care is needed, like prescriptions, I can refer you to doctors or specialists.
Waterbirth
I offer waterbirth as an option for laboring and birth at home. The benefits of laboring and/or birthing in water are numerous to both you and your baby. The simple act of immersing yourself in a spacious tub of warm water immediately soothes your body, allowing buoyancy and a loss of gravity to assist with labor.
Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC)
At Well Rounded Momma, the other midwives and I honor and support your desire to have a Vaginal Birth After Cesarean ("VBAC"). Together we can discuss the risks and benefits associated with having a home birth after going over your health and birth history. Then you can feel more confident going forward by making an informed decision about your birth.
Labor & Birth At Home
Midwives are experts in normal, natural childbirth but we are also trained in emergency response. This means we are experienced in the variations of normal birth and recognize the early signs of conditions that are not "normal." The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce incidences of birth injuries, trauma, and cesarean sections.
Postpartum & Newborn Care
I provide immediate and follow-up postpartum care for 6-8 weeks. At each postpartum appointment, we discuss your healing process, parenting a newborn, and breastfeeding. I provide routine weight checks for your baby, hearing, and metabolic screenings. I fully support your right to make decisions regarding your newborn’s care.
