End of Pregnancy / Third Trimester Consultation

All in-person pregnancy consultations can include ‘regular’ midwife care such as vital signs and checking the baby with palpation and a fetascope or doppler; it’s also super easy to include empowering DIY in a virtual prenatal.  “Dual Care” packages can be arranged to compliment your OB/CNM care, providing warm, mother/baby-centered care emphasizing education and empowerment through birth and postpartum.  This appointment could also serve as Ala Carte prenatal care before you have settled on a provider, just moved or are visiting the SE Michigan area during your pregnancy. Below are some ideas of the topics you may wish to cover. 

 ·     Why your baby’s position matters, and what simple things to do about it
 ·     How to do the REAL kick tests to monitor your baby’s well-being
 ·     Prepping your body, mind and baby for birth
 ·     What to do if you have increasing swelling or edema
 ·     Health issues (and some solutions) that sometimes come up
 ·     How to tell the difference between ‘False labor’ and ‘Real labor’
 ·     The absolutely most important thing in the whole world to do when you think you might be in labor
 ·     When to go to the hospital (or call your midwife) in labor
 ·     Setting the stage for satisfying breastfeeding
 ·     The 5 things you can’t forget when strategizing for a smooth postpartum
 ·     Beth’s list of breastfeeding and infant feeding books and resources
 ·     Check-list for birth supplies/suitcase (all locations)

What this is: Personalized supplemental care, consultation and education with an experienced midwife professional. I strive to provide insightful, nurturing, creative, and naturopathically-oriented health, parenting and midwifery perspectives. I am a Certified Professional Midwife and Midwife licensed by the State of Michigan, with a special interest in nutrition and natural health approaches. Please see my CV on the About page for my full credentials.

What this is not: This is not primary health care, nor care provided by a physician or therapist. There is no prescribing, or billing of insurance. Actual emergencies should be handled with 911. Please review the Medical Disclaimer found via the link at the bottom of each page.

Appointment times are generally daytimes during the week; a number of evening and weekend appointments are available each month. Beth will call to schedule your appointment, usually reaching you within 2 business days of your purchase.

All consultations are available as phone, Zoom, and Facetime; in person may be available if you are local (SE Michigan, USA). If so, indicate your interest in the ‘comment’ section of your purchase, and when we schedule together we can figure it out.
