Prenatal Care
The Canal is now offering prenatal care visits!
Prenatal visits are 1 hour in length allowing ample time to connect, have all of your concerns addressed, and truly individualize your care - as it should be!
All prenatal care is with a Certified Nurse Midwife.
Comprehensive prenatal care and concurrent prenatal care packages are available.
Pregnancy Consultation
One on one prenatal counseling with your very own Certified Nurse Midwife. A no-rush discussion about risks and benefits about all things pregnancy, birth, and postpartum to support you in making informed decisions for you and your growing family.
Acts as a supplement to your primary OB physician. Think of us as a second opinion, a judgment free sounding board to help you make decisions that feel right to you without the pressure of fitting all your questions into a 15 minute appointment. Continue traditional prenatal care with your provider, but feel confident in saying "I will consider that... but first, let me ask my midwife".
Some women have more questions toward the beginning or end of pregnancy. No problem! We can meet with you for one conversation to discuss a specific topic, stand by your side through one or two trimesters, or you can lock us in as your on-call partner throughout the duration of your entire pregnancy.
We have Fresh Test!
Fresh Test is an FDA approved alternative to the glucola gestational diabetes screening. It is non-GMO, BPA free, gluten free and is free from chemical additives, artificial dyes and preservatives.
Just like Glucola, Fresh Test provides a measurable dose of glucose to facilitate accurate screening for glucose tolerance in pregnancy. The glucose tolerance test is typically ordered between 24-28 weeks in pregnancy as a screening tool for gestational diabetes.
