What Is Not Included?
Knowing what falls outside your care package helps you plan ahead. Here's a clear breakdown of items and services not covered in standard midwifery care.
The following items are not included in standard care packages. Some may be available at an additional charge, facilitated through referral, or covered directly by your insurance. Please ask if you have questions about any specific item.
Non-routine labs, testing, and ultrasounds / Biophysical Profile
These tests may be offered, requested, or referred out but will generally incur additional costs. Cash-based pricing or your medical insurance may cover these directly.
Non-invasive prenatal genetic screening via Natera
I can facilitate ordering these tests and performing the necessary blood draws or specimen collection.
Nutritional & herbal supplements
I do recommend some herbs and supplements and may occasionally provide these or offer discounted pricing on my favorite brands as a part of your care.
Doula support
I love doulas and highly recommend them, especially to first-time parents and VBAC clients.
Childbirth Education Classes
Outside of any group classes offered by my practice.
Bodywork
Such as pregnancy massage, yoga, or chiropractic care — highly recommended, but not required.
A Birth Kit
Consists of disposable birth supplies specific to my practice, ordered by you in the last 4–6 weeks of pregnancy.
Waterbirth tub liner, hose & connections
New potable water hose and any special hose connections specific to your location. Additional charge — required for use of a First Memory Midwifery waterbirth tub.
Rhogam
For Rh− blood type only, as indicated. Additional charge per dose.
