I am so excited you’re here!! 💞 I am Alice Perez, Certified Birth Doula serving Collin and Grayson County, TX. I am absolutely wild about birth. Experiencing two different but beautiful births myself fueled a fire in me to support birthing individuals. I believe every birth has a purpose— to grow, to create, to expand, to learn, to heal. My goal is to assist you in leaning into this purpose and becoming the mother you were always made to be. ✨ I hope to answer any questions, provide support and references, and help you to make your birth every bit as intense and magical and full of devine purpose that it can be.

Hi I’m Ashley. I’m a certified childbirth educator, birth, and postpartum doula. We live in a culture where we are encouraged to “take charge” of our lives and bodies, but that doesn’t seem to be the case when it comes to women in labor. I grew up hearing stories from ladies (and still do) who only remembered pain and feeling completely powerless during the birth of their children. How a women remembers her birth can greatly affect the rest of her life. Was it a traumatic experience or a beautiful one? What I’ve learned throughout my years of being a Childbirth Educator, doula, and a mother is labor does not have to be traumatizing. The birth of your children can be a beautiful and empowering moment that you can cherish the rest of your life. I am honored to serve families in Fort Worth and cities West of Fort Worth. My goal is to educate expecting clients on all their options so they can have the best birth for their family! Please visit my website at www.womanofvalordoula.com or contact me at 940-654-5102 for more information and a speedy reply.

Ashley was WONDERFUL! I don't know if I could have had the natural (no pain meds) birth I wanted due to having to be induced for gestational hypertension without her assistance. WITH every induction method, WITH Ashley, WITH the Lord, and WITHOUT pain meds, I had the natural birth I so desperately desired. Thank you Ashley!

FAQs

What is a midwife?

A midwife is a licensed medical professional who cares for low-risk pregnancies and mothers who want no-to-low intervention deliveries (e.g., home birth, birthing center delivery, water birth).

Can you pay for a midwife with HSA or FSA funds in Arlington, TX?

Yes, you can use Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds to pay for midwifery services, as long as those services are related to medical care. Always check the specific rules of your HSA or FSA plan, as there can be variations in what expenses are considered eligible between different plans.

Are midwives covered by insurance in Arlington, TX?

Whether insurance covers the cost of a midwife in Arlington, TX, depends on your specific health insurance plan. Many insurance plans, including private insurers, Medicaid, and ACA marketplace plans, may provide coverage for midwifery services, especially if the midwife is licensed and the care is provided in an accredited facility or home setting. However, coverage can vary widely, and some plans may only cover midwifery services if the midwife is in-network or if the care is deemed medically necessary. It's essential to contact your insurance provider directly to confirm coverage details, including any out-of-pocket costs, co-pays, or requirements for pre-authorization.

How much does a midwife cost in Arlington, TX?

The cost of a midwife in Arlington, TX, can vary depending on the services provided, the midwife's experience, and the location of care (home, birthing center, or hospital). On average, midwifery services can range from $3,000 to $6,000 for prenatal care, labor, delivery, and postpartum care. Some midwives may offer payment plans, and insurance may cover part of the cost depending on your policy. It is best to contact local midwives or birthing centers directly for specific pricing and details.

What's the difference between a midwife and a doula?

A midwife is a trained health professional who helps women during labor, delivery, and after the birth of their babies. Midwives can provide gynecological examinations, prenatal care, and postpartum support. They are qualified to deliver babies and are trained to handle certain complications during childbirth. A doula, on the other hand, is a non-medical professional who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a mother who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. The doula's role is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. They are known for their continuous support, beginning during pregnancy and lasting through the postpartum period. While midwives have a broad scope of practice that is clinical in nature, doulas specialize in the non-clinical aspects of care. They might be preferred by mothers who are looking for continuous bedside support that is not typically provided by the medical staff. Doulas are known for their advocacy for the mother's wishes during childbirth, which can be especially valuable in hospital settings where the mother may desire a birth plan that deviates from standard procedures.

What's the difference between a midwife and an OBGYN?

A midwife is a healthcare professional who specializes in low-risk pregnancies, childbirth, and postpartum care. They typically emphasize a natural and holistic approach, focusing on minimal medical interventions. Midwives often work in birth centers, at home births, or in hospitals, depending on their certification and location. They provide personalized care and support throughout pregnancy and labor and may also assist with breastfeeding and newborn care. An OBGYN is a medical doctor who has completed extensive training, including medical school and a residency, specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. They care for all types of pregnancies, including high-risk cases, and are trained to handle medical complications, perform surgeries (like C-sections), and provide comprehensive reproductive healthcare beyond pregnancy. OBGYNs typically work in hospitals or clinics and can manage a broader range of medical situations.

Can I see a midwife for an IVF pregnancy?

Yes, you can see a midwife for an IVF pregnancy. Midwives are trained to provide care during pregnancy, including for those conceived through IVF, as long as the pregnancy is low-risk. They can help with prenatal care, labor, and delivery, and provide postpartum support. However, if your IVF pregnancy is considered high-risk or involves complications, you may need to work with an obstetrician in collaboration with the midwife to ensure proper care. Always consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best care plan for your situation.
