Planning To Give Birth In A Hospital But Looking For More Care From A Midwife?

Hi there! Welcome!

Tigist has created a virtual prenatal support for parents choosing to give birth in hospital but are looking for a holistic and individualized midwifery care in addition to the care they receive from their OB. Educated and supported women are capable of making an informed decision about their care have a higher chance of reducing their chance of having unnecessary induction or a cesarean. They have a higher chance of getting the type of birth they want and be satisfied. This care is designed to provide educational and psychological support.

In a typical OB appointment, weighing you and listening to the baby are the routines. We all know that pregnancy is more than this and we can cover that part for you! If you are looking for more compassionate care while you are seeing your OB and planning to give birth in a hospital, contact me!

How does it work? What does it include?

  • We meet virtually as it fits with your schedule.

  • You choose how many prenatal visits you need and appointments last for an hour.

  • Topics covered will depend on your need.

  • Childbirth education is included in your package.

  • Payment expected per visit or can be paid totally based on number of visits you need.

  • Continued postpartum care (optional).

Disclaimer

This care is only for support and does not replace your OB visits. If you live in Boise, you change your mind and want to give birth at home given that your pregnancy is low risk, we can discuss further. I recommend that you always consult with your provider before you decide to do anything.

The dates below are only temporary. After you purchase your package, we set up a meeting and work on details of your care.

”Wouldn’t it be wonderful if, after your baby was born, someone came to your home & that person understood your needs, & was there to nurture you, answer your questions, prepare nutritious meals for you & your family, and keep your home running smoothly, your way, while you rested & recovered from birth, learned to breastfeed & got to know your baby?

Virtual Postpartum Care

Did you give birth at hospital and feel isolated with no postpartum support? Are you struggling after having your baby? do you need breastfeeding support? are you looking for ways to cope with the postpartum period?

It is only in this developed world that women are left alone after giving birth. A woman who just gave birth needs to be celebrated and supported. She needs her family, friends and the community to guide her through all these changes coming after she gives birth! And my mission for this postpartum care is to guide you so that you feel supported and not alone!

This system of having only one postpartum visit at six weeks which is primarily scheduled for contraception counseling is failing our moms! One of the unique features of midwifery care is the continued postpartum care following birth. Approximately 1 in 8 women suffer from postpartum depression after delivery. Social isolation and lack of postpartum support contribute a lot to women’s suffering after birth. With continued support, we can prevent or lessen your chance of suffering from this problem. Your questions will be answered. In addition to her midwifery care, Tigist is also a La Leche League Leader who provides free breastfeeding support to women during pregnancy and after birth.
