Home Birth
Home birth is an option for pregnant women in Massachusetts. Many women prefer to labor and birth in the comfort and privacy of their own home. Studies have shown this to be as safe as a hospital birth for low risk pregnant women. A home birth midwife will do all necessary prenatal care, will be with you for labor and birth, and continue with postpartum care. Your prenatals are scheduled to allow plenty of time for an exam and discussion. A midwife, experienced in natural birth, waterbirth & VBAC, will care for you during labor and the birth of your baby. As many postpartum visits as necessary will be arranged. Home birth is a wonderful option for the woman that wants a natural birth without interventions and is most comfortable in her own home.
Coverage includes the Greater Boston area, North of Boston, the Northshore, Eastern MA, Merrimack Valley and more.

Testimonial:
We chose a home birth for our first baby after finding even nurse-midwife attended birth centers still too medicalized and pushy. Kim was a knowledgeable and reassuring presence throughout my pregnancy. She provided a balanced approach to the different testing options, answered my never-ending questions, and always respected our decisions. On my birthing day (actually the middle of the night), Kim provided a calming, supportive and professional presence. As I had wanted, she didn't interrupt or interfere with the natural and smooth progression of my labor until and unless it was necessary. With a bit of help from Kim, my husband was able to "catch" our daughter, an incredibly special experience for both of us. Immediately after the birth, she and the rest of her team (backup midwife and apprentice/doula) stayed for several hours and took wonderful and unobtrusive care of us, allowing us to focus entirely on getting to know the new addition to our family. We will definitely return to Kim to attend our next birth - I can't imagine birthing any better way.- Maureen
