Do you accept other insurances?
We do. Nest Midwifery is out of network with all insurances, however, we work closely with a qualified biller who can provide you with a verification of benefits and determine what your insurance will cover. This needs be done at the onset of care. Clients who choose to use insurance, may still have co-pay/deposit. We can give you more details in our financial agreement and answer specific questions at your consultation.
Do I need to see a doctor during my pregnancy or postpartum?
Typically, no. As Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) we are qualified to provide care to our healthy, low-risk clients throughout their pregnancy, birth and postpartum without the need for a doctor. Sometimes, the need arises for a client to see another healthcare provider such as an obstetrician, chiropractor, or pediatrician for assessment, treatment or monitoring. We work collaboratively with other healthcare providers to ensure that our clients remain healthy, low-risk homebirth candidates.
What supplies do I need for a home birth?
We will give you a birth supply list around 24-28 weeks in pregnancy. We ask you to gather these supplies prior to your home visit around 36 weeks. Additionally, Nest midwives carry birth kits that include all medical supplies and emergency equipment. Some items are things you’ll already have, such as towels, extra bed sheets, baby blankets and diapers, and thermometer. Other supplies you’ll need to buy, borrow. We also ask you to buy a customized birth kit from Radiant Belly Birth Supplies.
