Our Services
Prenatal Care
While we focus on a non-interventive, preventative approach for both pregnancy and birth, Hillside Midwifery also offers all standard screenings. We believe that pregnancy and birth are not a “one size fits all” event and we greatly value informed choice. Our job is to provide you with the latest evidence based practices and education, listen to your desires, and help to create an individualized care plan. Beyond taking vital signs and checking on your baby, we will spend time getting to know each other and discussing a variety of topics. Welcome to compassionate, un-rushed, evidence based care!
