Homebirth
Carrie and Paislie work as a two Midwife birth team, when it comes time for birth we come to you. Your labor begins and when you need us, our team arrives to set everything up. We stay until 3-4 hours after your baby is born to look after Mom and baby. We also are the clean up crew leaving your home just as we found it when we leave.

Prenatal Care
After your initial consultation, you will visit Hatched offices for your visits they are 45min to an hour long.
