Midwifery Care

Providing comprehensive care in pregnancy and beyond is the cornerstone to midwifery care. Care starts whenever you are ready and is concluded at around 6 weeks postpartum. Our care is complete and includes antenatal testing and labs in addition to your routine prenatal check-ups. Having no need for most clients to visit an obgyn or participate in other doctor/hospital care during pregnancy is one of the most appealing aspects of midwifery care.

Our prenatal appointments are not rushed. We will take time to address any questions and concerns that you have. During our appointments we spend time discussing the purposes for the tests, labs and treatments offered but do not bully you into participating. We believe that when it comes to your care, you are the best decision maker. Truly informed choice is our specialty.

Education is of utmost importance and we strive to provide tools, information and resources all throughout your care so that you can make the right decisions for your family. We stress the importance of nutrition for growing a healthy baby thus optimizing the chances of a smooth, natural delivery.

Fees for Midwifery Services
Birth can be expensive and can cost well over $20-$30K for a basic vaginal hospital delivery. We strive to keep birth affordable to those seeking individualized and thoughtful care by providing discounts as available. And although "cheap" can be found sometimes, we believe deeply in the quality of service that we offer. I may not be the cheapest midwife available, but I do promise to do my best to give you the time and attention you need and to support you to the very best of my ability.

If you are a cash-pay client your fee will be bundled to already include several discounts, bringing your global fee down to around $6600-$6900 (based on a few health/medical factors that are considered). Payments are made at your prenatal visits with no additional interest or penalties as long as full payment is achieved by 34 weeks. Details of payment amounts will be discussed and agreed upon when you begin care.

Your Global Fee includes your prenatal, postpartum, labor, birth, and basic newborn care. It also includes your birth supply kit, labor prep teas, herbs, some essential oils, management, assistance, assessments, basic pp healing, basic prenatal counseling and birth education, basic initial breastfeeding support, etc., etc., etc. Please note that there may be some items not included in the global fee. This could include things such as birth complications, extended lactation assistance, ultrasounds, labs, screenings, facility fees, additional birth assistants, rentals, certain supplements/medications, RhoGAM, sutures, IV supplies, counseling, home visits, etc.

Please note that if you have a Healthsharing type insurance, fees may vary from those listed here because not all discounts may be applicable. Fees for such clients will be figured on an individual basis based on care needs and relevant discounts will be applied.

Beginning Care and Securing your Due Date

Because out-of-hospital birth is highly sought after, and midwives are in high demand, my calendar tends to fill up rather quickly. If you are serious about working with me, I urge you to set up a consultation as soon as possible to ensure your due date is available. I look forward to sitting down with you to discuss your upcoming birth. To set up a free, no obligation, consultation simply fill out the contact form below and I will personally contact you to set something up. -Pamela Brott, LM, CPM

Breastfeeding Support

Initial breastfeeding support is included in your midwifery care. Additional counseling may be available and/or a referral to additional counseling can be requested any time.

Breastfeeding can be one of the most emotionally challenging, yet rewarding experiences a mother ever has the privilege to accept. And along with the relationship that is built between mother and baby, your baby will receive the very best, complete nutrition possible.

The need that your new baby has to be breastfed goes far beyond the excellent nutrition. Your baby needs that time close to you. They need that touch, that skin-to-skin contact. They need to know that you are there to protect them. Your baby needs to hear your heartbeat, feel your warmth and bask in every close moment you give at the breast.

For you, breastfeeding should be a time for rest and relaxation, a time to take a break from the world around you and just enjoy the smell, touch and feel of your baby. This time of bonding is an amazing opportunity for both mother and baby.

It is rewarding to witness the bond grow between a mother and her baby as their nursing relationship matures. Breastfeeding is natural...true enough, but learning to breastfeed is something altogether different. It is my goal to help every new mother succeed at breastfeeding. In addition to being a midwife, I am certified as a Breastfeeding Counselor.

Occasionally I can provide one-on-one counseling. But often times my schedule is quite full. In those cases, I refer out to a wonderful breastfeeding consultant that can give you the attention you need to find success.

Often times getting help early is the key to correcting the problem. Waiting too long never makes it impossible, but it does make it much more difficult. If you are needing help, reach out.

Placenta Encapsulation

Placental Preservation is one of the best ways to help maintain good postpartum health. Having done it myself, and seen the difference it made, I am a believer in its benefits. I am often asked what my recommendations are for placenta processing. I usually suggest encapsulation and at least two tinctures. This is only an opinion, but I feel it allows you to enjoy benefits through the capsules soon after birth and have the tinctures to use long after the pills are gone. And as stated below tinctures last forever and can even be saved for menopause.

Options include...
Encapsulation $250
Encapsulation consists of drying and preserving the placenta in easy to swallow capsules. They are readily available to you when you need them and are taken to help maintain a balance of hormones in the weeks after birth. Using Sterile Technique to ensure health and safety, your placenta will be processed and returned swiftly, usually within 2-3 days.

Tinctures $40 each or $60 each without encapsulation
Tinctures are small glass containers filled with distilled liquid that has been used to extract the hormones and nutrients from the placenta through an aging process. The contents are potent and only a very small amount is needed to take effect. Tinctures can be used for maintaining good long term health for both you and your baby. They should be stored out of direct sunlight and last for years. They can even be saved and used as supplements during menopause. The process takes several weeks to complete but is well worth the wait. Once completed your tinctures will be delivered to you.

Raw Processing $200
Consuming placenta in its rawest form is simple and an easy way to receive the wonderful nutritional value that your placenta has to offer. Rinsing and cutting into bite sized pieces and placing in the freezer is very easy to do, but it is very time consuming. When your baby arrives it is important that you and your partner are available to focus on your baby's needs. We offer complete Raw Processing right in your home. We provide all supplies and will have your placenta in simple bite size pieces and in your freezer without you having to worry about a thing. These little pieces can be added to a meal, pureed in a smoothie, or eaten raw. It's up to you.
