Hybrid care is for people who want the personalized care of a homebirth midwife, but have chosen to birth in the hospital. This can be a great option for a family that needs/wants to birth in a hospital with hospital personnel, but would like to labor at home for as long as possible and have midwifery expertise as part of their pregnancy, labor, and postpartum experiences. Hybrid care includes:
- Full prenatal appointments following the classic schedule of:
- Every 4 weeks until 28 weeks
- Every 2 weeks until 36 weeks
- Every week until birth
- Labor support includes:
- checking on fetal and parental well-being (heart tones and vitals)
- checking progress via cervical exams
- helping determine when to go to the hospital
- providing physical, informational, and emotional support once in the hospital
- Postpartum care includes:
- Visit on 1 day postpartum
- Visit on 3 days postpartum
- Visit at 1 week postpartum
- Visit at 2 weeks postpartum
- Visit at 4 weeks postpartum
- Visit at 6 weeks postpartum
