While both midwives and OBs provide care for women during pregnancy and birth, midwives focus on providing hand-tailored, holistic care that emphasizes physiologic birth with minimal intervention to low-risk women. OBs, on the other hand, are hospital-based medical physicians who specialize in pregnancy and birth and are trained to handle high-risk pregnancies, complicated deliveries, and surgical cesarean births.
Home birth with a qualified midwife has been proven safe for low-risk women. However, there are some pre-existing conditions as well as conditions that pop up during pregnancy that may make it unsafe to have a baby out-of-hospital. To determine whether midwife-attended home birth is a sound option for you, please book a free consultation with Mira.
We do not carry narcotics or provide epidurals in the home setting. Freedom of movement, the ability to eat + drink during labor, Spinning Babies, rebozo manteada, bodywork/massages, and the use of hydrotherapy are techniques used at Brujita Birth. We highly recommend attending a childbirth education course as well as hiring a doula who is trained in comfort measures, especially for early labor before your midwife arrives.
Yes! I love supporting water births. You may choose to use your own bathtub or you can borrow one of my inflatable birth pools at no extra cost.
Yes. As a midwife I attend workshops such as Breech Without Borders to ensure I‘ve gained the skills and knowledge necessary to safely attend vaginal breech births. If we know baby is breech before labor begins there will be a second breech-trained midwife in attendance.
I attend di-di twin births as long as the pregnancy remains low-risk. For twin births, two additional midwives will be in attendance and that is an added cost to your global fee.
Yes, for women who have a low-transverse cesarean incision.
Yes! Paying in full at your initial appointment, hiring an approved doula, attending an approved childbirth education course, attending Push Prep (through a pelvic floor therapist), or having Medicaid qualify for discounts. They can be stacked up to $600.
I do. There is a $1000 retainer required to initiate care and then payments can be divided into equal monthly amounts, with the remainder of Global Fee due in full by 36 weeks.
I am not in-network with any insurance companies or Medicaid, though some healthshares may pay for home birth services. Non-routine labs and ultrasounds can be billed through insurance or Medicaid, and I can provide you with a superbill after your 6-week postpartum appointment for you to submit to your insurance to attempt to receive reimbursement.
I am currently offering appointments on Wednesdays 9am-5pm or Saturdays 9am-5pm.
