FAQ
What services do you offer?
At Midwife KC, we provide full-scope midwifery care to support you from pregnancy through postpartum—and even for general wellness. Our services include:
- Prenatal Care: Regular, in-depth visits to check on you and your baby, answer questions, and provide holistic, personalized support.
- Labor & Birth Support: Compassionate, expert care in the comfort of your home, ensuring a safe and empowering birth experience.
- Postpartum Care: Ongoing care for you and your baby, including newborn checks, breastfeeding support, and those all-important first days as a family.
We also offer well-woman care, so you can stay connected to your health even outside of pregnancy.
Is home birth safe?
Yes, home birth is a safe option for most low-risk pregnancies (and most pregnancies are low-risk!). Our team is experienced and prepared for a variety of scenarios to keep you and your baby safe.
If a hospital transfer is needed, we’ve got you covered. We work closely with local hospitals to ensure a smooth transition. And don’t worry—we’ll stay by your side throughout the process, providing continuity of care.
Do you support VBAC?
Who will attend my birth?
One of our three on-call midwives, Cheryl, Sarah or Elizabeth will attend your birth along with one student midwife who serves as a trained birth assistant. Rest assured, everyone is up-to-date on CPR and Neonatal Resuscitation Protocol (NRP).
Can I have a doula or other support people (like my kids) at my birth?
Yes! We love working with doulas, especially for first-time parents and VBACs. You’re welcome to have anyone on your birth team who helps you feel empowered and supported.
If you’d like your older children to attend, we recommend having an additional adult who can step in to care for them if they need a break (or a snack!).
And we always welcome family members to prenatal appointments!
How long do you stay after the birth? Do you clean up?
We typically stay about 2 hours after your baby arrives. During that time, we’ll:
- Check on you and your baby.
- Help you establish breastfeeding.
- Tidy up, throw in a load of laundry, and even take out the trash—so it feels like we were never there!
We’ll visit you back at home 24–48 hours postpartum and again 5-7 days postpartum. We then provide follow-up care in our office at 2-3 weeks, 4 weeks (newborn weight check included) and 6 weeks postpartum.
What makes Midwife KC different?
We’re all about connection and personalized care. We intentionally serve just 6–8 families each month. This allows us to build meaningful, one-on-one relationships with you and provide you with the holistic care you deserve.
Our prenatal visits are unhurried, lasting 30–60 minutes (longer for the first visit), so we can answer your questions and truly get to know you. And with midwives, Cheryl, Sarah and Elizabeth backing each other up, you’ll always have a familiar face by your side.
This sounds like it’s for me—how do I get started?
