What if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?
If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, we kindly ask that you let us know as soon as you can so we can adjust our schedule accordingly. This ensures that we can accommodate other clients who may be waiting for an appointment.
If you do need to cancel or reschedule, simply contact us by phone, text, or email, and we’ll be happy to work with you to find a new appointment time.
Does Community Birth and Wellness offer hospital or birth center services?
We offer home birth services and births like home birth in a birthing cabin.
In the rare event that a hospital transfer becomes necessary before or during labor, your midwife will accompany you to the hospital and continue providing support throughout that transfer and with postpartum appointments.
Do midwives handle emergencies or transfers to the hospital?
Our midwives are trained to handle a variety of situations, including emergencies, though complications are rare. We come to each birth fully prepared with emergency equipment such as oxygen, medications to prevent excessive bleeding, and neonatal resuscitation supplies. If complications arise, such as prolonged labor or signs of fetal distress, we assess the situation carefully and recommend a hospital transfer if necessary.
If a transfer is required, Haven midwives work closely with local hospitals and OB/GYNs to ensure a smooth and safe transition. We will stay with you during the transfer to provide continued support, ensuring clear communication with the hospital staff. Even though transfers are rare, we prioritize your safety and are committed to a seamless handover of care if needed.
