Prenatal Care

Our prenatal care program is a big part of what sets our care apart. It brings together the centuries old traditions of midwifery with the very best research, resources and data available today to help families get off to the best start possible.

Longer visits, often in one of our birth suites, allow for time to get to know your provider and become comfortable with the birth environment.

Relationship and Time with Your Providers

Each individual prenatal care appointment is 30-60 minutes. We take time to understand your hopes and fears and get a full picture of your health.
At each appointment you will have a clinical exam. We will take your vital signs, measure your belly, and listen to your babys heartbeat. We will review any laboratory or other testing result with you but will also talk about your diet, exercise and sleep patterns, stress levels, family dynamics, and all of the other aspects of life that can impact your health, and the health of your baby.
You are encouraged to set the course of your prenatal care including helping to determine the frequency of visits, your educational program, and your birth plan.

Such a radically different experience than with my OB with my first. Then, every appointment was in and out super quickly. The midwives actually listen to me, nothing is rushed, and I have never felt like just another patient. I love them. – Simone T, client at Baby+Company, Nashville, TN

Education is a fundamental part of our prenatal care program. Classes include: prenatal yoga, childbirth education, breastfeeding, newborn care, and wellness workshops.

Focus on Learning, Wellness, and Community

You will receive a client handbook with structured self-assessments that will help you prepare for and guide your clinical visits.
Each trimester, you will be able to participate in a group visit, facilitated by a certified nurse midwife, where you will have an opportunity to connect with other moms and collectively navigate shared questions and challenges.
You will also have access to a full schedule of classes, a number of which are included in the price prenatal care, and many of which are wellness focused.

Phenomenal care by phenomenal people! I left every appointment feeling happy and confident. – Katie N, client at Birth Center of Northwest Arkansas

Baby+Company is a family friendly environment. Family members are welcome at your prenatal visits as well as at the birth of your baby.

Family Friendly and Convenient

You will have access to your prenatal care team 24/7 by phone, email or video chat.
Tele-health visits are available for the times when you need to see a nurse or a midwife but it is more convenient to stay home.
You are welcome to bring your children, your partner or anyone else with you to your individual visits so that they stay informed, and feel involved (and so that you do not have to get childcare in order to come in for a prenatal visit).

From the moment you walk in you are greeted by a wonderful staff and are made to feel right at home. This place really truly cares about you and your family. – Whitney C, client at Birth Center of Northwest Arkansas
