Midwife Prenatal Care — Even If You're Planning a Hospital Birth
Personalized midwifery care during pregnancy. Your chosen hospital for delivery.
Birthstone Midwifery gives families another option between traditional office-based prenatal care and home birth: relationship-based prenatal care with a licensed midwife while you continue planning a hospital delivery.
Quick Answer
Yes. You can receive prenatal care from a licensed midwife and still plan to give birth at a hospital. Birthstone Midwifery offers personalized prenatal care for families in Murrieta, Temecula, and surrounding Riverside County communities who want a midwifery approach during pregnancy without choosing home birth.
You Don't Have to Choose Home Birth to Choose Midwifery Care
Some families want longer appointments, one consistent provider, individualized education, and informed decision-making during pregnancy, but feel most comfortable delivering in a hospital. Those choices do not have to conflict.
With Birthstone Midwifery, your prenatal care can be provided by a licensed midwife while your hospital's maternity team provides care for your hospital admission and delivery. As you approach birth, we help you prepare for that transition and discuss your plan for records and hospital care.
Add Continuity With a Doula
Families may also choose our Prenatal + Doula Program. Your doula provides non-medical support and can continue with you into your hospital birth and postpartum period, helping bridge the transition from prenatal care to the birth setting.
What Does Midwifery Prenatal Care Include?
Care is individualized and may include routine prenatal assessments, appropriate labs and screenings, review of maternal and fetal well-being, nutrition and wellness education, birth preparation, breastfeeding preparation, postpartum planning, and time to discuss your questions and preferences.
