Prenatal Care

As a client of EdenWay Birth, you will typically have scheduled prenatal visits every month until 28 weeks, every two weeks from 28 weeks to 36 weeks and weekly from 36 weeks until birth. Each prenatal visit consists of checking a urine sample for any abnormalities, measuring your blood pressure and weight and checking on baby’s well being by measuring fundal height, listening to baby’s heart rate, and feeling baby’s position within your uterus.  Additionally, clients planning a homebirth can expect a home visit at 36 weeks.

Our facility is family-friendly and we encourage our clients to bring significant others, children and other family members or friends to prenatals.  We welcome the opportunity to meet your family and friends, especially if they’ll be attending your birth!

Consultation

A free, no-obligation interview that allows  you to meet us, tour the birth center, and ask any questions you have as you explore options for your birth.

Pregnancy Celebrations

As our society becomes more open about pregnancy and birth, it has become more common to celebrate the changes your body undergoes during pregnancy with maternity portraits, belly casting, and mendhi.  While we don’t offer maternity portraits, we do offer belly casting and mendhi and we can refer you to a few excellent photographers for maternity portraits.

Lending Library

We maintain a library of pregnancy, breastfeeding, childbirth, women’s health, family, parenting, and exercise and self-help books that are available to any of our clients for checkout over the course of their care with us.  Here’s a sampling of titles we have available:
