FAQ

What is a CPM?

The CPM is a North American credential that recognizes multiple routes of education, CPMs have met clinical requirements and passed skills evaluation and a written exam. CPMs provide prenatal, birth, postpartum, and well-woman care. CPMs are required to have Out-of-Hospital birth experience for certification as a CPM.

Can you serve a VBAC client?

I have counseled and helped many women have their VBAC babies. I am most familiar with and sensitive to the special needs of VBAC mamas. To start the process we would have a TOLAC (trial of labor after Cesarean) and VBAC consultation so we may learn about the unique circumstances leading to your prior Cesarean section/s. You would bring a copy of your operative report to discuss if you are a medically appropriate TOLAC/VBAC client.

How long are the visits?

These are customized, individualized visits, and therefore the counseling plan depends on how you feel. The first session is 90 minutes, and subsequent sessions are 60 minutes. We create a birth counseling plan that works for your needs.

Can myself or my partner catch the baby?

I encourage you both to be actively involved in the birth of your baby. We will work together to help you catch your baby as much as possible.

If I tear can the midwife repair it?

Yes midwives are trained and skilled in repairing second degree tearing. Anything more sever would be a transfer to the hospital for a more in-depth repair
