Prenatal Care
Prenatal Care with Modern Village Midwifery is a personalized and educational experience. Your checkups are tailored to your physical, emotional, and educational needs. We usually allow 60 minutes for each appointment. This ensures plenty of time to answer any questions you or your partner have, address any discomforts you are experiencing, and discuss resources to help you make informed choices that are right for you regarding your pregnancy, nutrition, exercise, and preparation for labor, birth, postpartum and breastfeeding. We closely monitor maternal and fetal well-being through lab work, fetal growth assessment, and other clinical signs, and offer extensive nutrition and supplement counseling. We do all that we can to help keep mom and baby healthy and low risk, and identify any issues or complications that may arise so that they can be managed and treated appropriately. Throughout the course of your prenatal care, you will see each midwife for multiple prenatal visits and have the opportunity to develop relationships with your entire team. This foundation allows you to feel comfortable with and connected to both of the midwives who are present to support you during your birth time.
Labor and Birth
We provide physical and emotional support, as well as peaceful, gentle monitoring of the physical health and well-being of mom and baby throughout labor, in the comfort of your home. Our unique practice structure provides for you to be attended by two out of our three midwives so that there is a qualified provider for both you and your baby. We bring emergency medical supplies and equipment, as well as herbs, homeopathic remedies and essential oils to help provide safety and comfort to your birth. We seek to honor your birth space and help empower you to listen to and trust your body, so that you may give birth exactly how your body and your baby need.
Postpartum Care
The first moments of your baby’s life on the outside are precious and so very important. We honor these moments and focus our efforts on facilitating peaceful bonding while evaluating and monitoring mom and baby. We stay at least 2 hours after mom and baby are both stable, help with breastfeeding, prepare a healing herb bath for mom (and baby, if desired), perform a full newborn exam, and get everyone tucked into bed!
Following the birth, the midwife returns to your home at 24-48 hours, to check on you as you rest and bond with your baby. We also offer office visits at 2 weeks, 4-6 weeks, and 10-12 weeks, checking on your physical and emotional recovery, baby’s growth and development, offer breastfeeding support and much more. We try our best to help support you and your family in such a way that makes your postpartum transition joyful and peaceful.
Other services
Waterbirth
Waterbirth is a gentle and peaceful way to welcome a baby into the world. We provide the birth pool, no rental fees required. We also set up and tear down the pool. Clients wanting a water birth, and/or wanting to use the birth pool for labor are responsible to purchase a disposable pool liner and a new drinking water hose.
Birth Center Access
We are happy to offer the option for our clients to choose to give birth at Given Women’s Health Oasis, a birth center in the beautiful Osage Hills of North Tulsa. If you are interested in this option, you can visit their website for more information and book a tour.
Placenta Encapsulation
Since we are already at your birth, it is a no hassle process to take your placenta, prepare it using a raw dehydration method, and return it to you in easy to take capsules. Consuming your placenta after birth often provide a helpful boost in energy, mood support, increased milk supply, and other positive effects. The cost for this service is $250.
Fresh Newborn Photos
Our student midwife, Alyssa, is a photographer and offers our clients a fresh newborn photo session in your home around the 24-48 hr postpartum home visit. She offers this at a reduced rate ($100) since we will already be there for your visit! This is such a sweet way to capture those precious and fleeting details of postpartum life with a newborn.
