• Prenatal Care

• Labor and Birth Care

• Newborn Care

Let us support you through every stage of your journey with expert guidance and personalized attention.

Prenatal care is the foundation of a healthy pregnancy and birth experience. During your initial visit, we’ll review your comprehensive medical history, assess risk factors, create a care plan, and discuss how to meet your unique needs.

• Screening Options:
  Even with an out-of-hospital birth plan, you have access to all standard pregnancy screenings, such as lab work and ultrasounds, to ensure ongoing risk assessment.

• Risk Management:
  Our goal is to support a healthy pregnancy and birth. If necessary, we may recommend adjustments to your birth plan, including referrals or planning a hospital birth for optimal safety.

• Schedule of Visits:

  • Monthly office visits until 32 weeks.

  • Biweekly office visits from 32 to 38 weeks.

  • Weekly office visits from 38 weeks until delivery.
    

• Appointment Length and Approach:

Most appointments are scheduled for 30 minutes, except for:

• Initial Visit

• Physical Exam Visit

• Postpartum Visits

These exceptions typically last an hour to allow for a more in-depth discussion and care.

We dedicate this time to:

• Explaining upcoming recommended testing or alternative options.

• Reviewing and discussing test results.

• Answering any questions you may have since your last visit.

Our approach prioritizes thorough monitoring, clear communication, and individualized care to support you every step of the way. Let us know if you have any questions about the appointment process!

At Clarksville Midwifery & Birth Center, we provide relationship-centered, evidence-based care for families.

During Labor

Our midwives join you in active labor (typically around 6 cm dilation) and provide continuous support and clinical monitoring throughout the birth. Timing may vary depending on your labor pattern and birth history.

Before You Leave

Following the birth, we remain with you for approximately 2–3 hours postpartum to monitor both parent and baby, support feeding, complete newborn assessments, and ensure everyone is stable and comfortable before you leave.

Our goal is steady, attentive care in a calm and supportive environment.

Our postpartum and newborn care provides attentive follow-up and thoughtful support during the early weeks after birth.
