In addition to attending births and helping pregnant people prepare for parenthood, our certified nurse-midwives provide comprehensive reproductive health care including annual exams, birth-control counseling, menopausal care and primary care.

• Physical exams
• Preconception care
• Teen pregnancy care
• Prenatal screening and care
• Ultrasound referrals
• Childbirth
• Epidural anesthesia during labor
• VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean)
• Breastfeeding support
• Follow-up appointments

Some health conditions may preclude you from seeing a nurse-midwife for your pregnancy care. Please ask us if you are unsure if you are appropriate for midwifery care.

Should you require a cesarean, your on-call nurse-midwife assists the obstetrician with the surgery. Our consulting physicians are available 24 hours a day in case of emergency, questions, or surgery.

Swedish offers a unique approach to prenatal care through CenteringPregnancy^®. Centering brings pregnant people and their partners or other support people together for group sessions on all aspects of prenatal care. Soon-to-be parents find companionship, build community and support each other as they discuss common pregnancy concerns and plan for their new babies.

CenteringPregnancy sessions, composed of about eight to 12 -families, start early in the pregnancy. The two-hour meetings are initially held every four weeks and increase to every two weeks as the pregnancy progresses. Pregnant people learn how to record their own vitals (weight and blood pressure); and at each session they discuss and learn about important subjects such as nutrition and exercise, coping with labor and lactation.
