Usually not. We have you purchase certain items to protect your bed and other surfaces and there are items included in your birth kit that will also help keep everything in good order. We set everything up when we arrive and generally do most of the cleanup before we leave. Most of the time the only reason people know that you had a baby at home is that you are already in your own bed snuggled up with your baby. Laundry will be left in a bag with instructions or sometimes if there’s time we may start a load for you.

We will help you fill out the necessary paperwork, and then after your baby is born and you have chosen a name, we will submit your information to the Kentucky or Georgia department of vital statistics for your baby to receive his/her Social Security number and have the birth registered. You will then need to send in a request for a copy of the birth certificate with your payment.

Most people notify us as soon as they know they are pregnant in order to secure a place on the calendar. We usually begin visits in the office or at home according to our schedule between 8-12 weeks. We are sometimes able to take late transfers of care depending on location and situation. We cannot guarantee that our schedule will not be full.

A doula and a childbirth education class is strongly recommended for a first time mother or a mother having her first natural birth after a cesarean. They can still be very useful in subsequent pregnancies, especially if you’ve never had a natural delivery outside of the hospital.
