Midwifery Groups

Many parents feel most comfortable birthing in a hospital setting but don’t want to give up the lower intervention care a midwife offers. These are some of the hospital based midwifery groups many of our clients have enjoyed working with.

Birth Center

Families in Atlanta have the option to birth in a beautiful and homey free-standing birth center. This birth center has in-house midwives that both provide your prenatal care as well as caring for you as you welcome your baby into the world. They also offer ongoing well-woman care!

Obgyn

Choosing an OBGYN group for your pregnancy and birth can seem like a daunting task with so many options available in the Atlanta area. These are some groups parents consistently rave about.

Homebirth Midwives

Choosing to birth at home is a very personal decision and the midwife you have caring for you should bring you comfort and confidence. These midwifery groups have loads of experience and a strong belief in your body’s ability to birth your baby.

Optimal Fetal Positioning

Is your baby breech or were you told your baby is “OP” or “sunny-side up”? The position your baby is in can have a big impact on how your labor and birth unfold. Most babies find their way into the best position on their own but there are things that can be done to encourage baby to find their way a little easier.

Feeding Support

Whether you plan to breastfeed, pump and bottle feed, formula feed, or combination feed sometimes some extra support and education can ensure a smoother journey.

Prenatal Massage

Massage has many benefits during pregnancy. It can be used to ease discomfort, relax ligaments that may allow baby and your body to move and shift easier, and once close to or past your due date can include acupressure to encourage labor to begin.

Chiropractic Care

Having your body well aligned can help make space for your baby to settle into the optimal position as well as keep you more comfortable during pregnancy. Having a chiropractor that specializes in the Webster Technique ensures you’re being adjusted in a way that is safe for pregnancy and focuses on aligning your body properly for birth.
