At 36-weeks you’ll have your first home visit with our midwives. During this appointment, the team will finalize your birth plan—whether you prefer the birth tub, your bedroom, or another cozy space. We’ll guide partners through how they can support your labor and delivery, ensure your home is safe and ready for birth, and help you decide where to set up supplies. Your midwives will review your emergency birth kit, walk through location-specific emergency protocols, and share practical tips for comfort and preparation.

Our team is here to help you labor in a way that honors your body’s natural physiological processes and your personal choices.

Throughout labor and delivery, your dedicated home birth midwives provide continuous, one-on-one care, monitoring you and baby while encouraging natural progression. Unlike hospital restrictions, you’re free to eat, drink, and move intuitively as your body guides you through this powerful process.
Immediately after delivery, our midwives ensure both you and your baby are healthy and thriving, before facilitating an uninterrupted Golden Hour for essential bonding. We’ll help you get started with breastfeeding and support any personal choices you may make for your little one, such as delayed cord clamping.
24 hours after birth, we’ll return for a home visit to check on your and your baby and address any concerns or questions you and your family may have. Our postpartum care continues with regular check-ins up to 6 weeks after birth to support healing, newborn care, breastfeeding success, and your emotional wellbeing throughout those transformative early weeks. Families looking to continue being cared for by Alba after the postpartum period can explore our nurse practitioner services.
