Homebirth Services in the Knoxville Area
Midwifery care is centered around the belief that childbirth is a normal and natural event and that low-risk births do not need to take place in the hospital. Midwives trust the process of pregnancy and birth as well as the bodies of our clients to be able to birth their babies. Midwifery care is also centered around the beliefs that people should be able to choose where, how, and with whom they give birth and that they should have access to competent providers in every setting.
Caring for you and your baby for the duration of the pregnancy.
Monitoring you and your baby throughout labor and birth.
Ensuring continued well-being of you and your baby after birth.
