My wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy. It is necessary for me to mention that I (father/husband ) am 39 years of age and my wife is 42 at the time of pregnancy and delivery of our first born. We suffered two previous miscarriages about a year before a successful pregnancy journey. We spoke to a few medical professionals who were at best cordially sympathetic when it came to our painful journey up to that point, most felt the need to reiterate statistics we were very well acquainted with. Natalie was and is different. From the moment we met she was encouraging, engaging, informative, communicative and so much more. She listened and sought to understand our desires for alternative approaches to the traditional medical system. She prepared my wife with practical tools and exercises as well as the mental, emotional and spiritual support that gave us confidence in the completely natural and magnificent act of giving birth. The moment we knew we were approaching the early labor stage, Natalie made her way to our home 4 hours away and gave us the hands on guidance we needed at every stage of labor. She let my wife lead and listened and responded and was in tune with my wife and our midwife at every hour of delivery. She was a perfect buffer between us and the hospital staff. The delivery was an experience like no other and I am so grateful to have had Natalie by our side. We will be trying for another child and we already notified Natalie that we will be keeping her as apart of our team. You will not regret having this women as a part of your pregnancy, labor and birth journey
— Isaac M., review of Natalie Jacobson
I really wanted a VBAC after a traumatic birth with my first. Angelee really listened to me and I felt safe even when I thought doctors weren’t going to listen to me after arguing with one even before they admitted me post my water breaking. Angelee stayed in contact with me from the time my water broke until I felt I needed her at the hospital. After 39 hours from the time my water broke until I gave birth, Angelee was there for me using different strategies to help me on my VBAC journey. I’m truly grateful to have had her on my side when going though something that brought back so many memories and feelings that I wanted to forget. I truly don’t think a VBAC would’ve been possible without her. 🤍

I had such a great experience with Angelee. As a first time mom, I felt so much more prepared for labor/delivery and felt more aware of what to expect than I ever could have on our own. I had a goal of an unmedicated birth and truly think Angelee is one of the main reasons I was able to achieve that goal! She helped advocate and ask questions I didn’t even know to ask and helped me understand exactly what was happening. I had an amazing first birth experience thanks to Angelee and her guidance!

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 Bentonville, AR?
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 Bentonville, AR?
Arkansas Medicaid covers certified nurse-midwife care because it is a required Medicaid benefit nationwide. Reimbursement includes CNM-attended prenatal care, childbirth, and postpartum services, while coverage for licensed or certified professional midwives at home or in birth centers depends on the member’s plan. Bentonville has very limited local availability, with one midwife listed within 60 miles. Private insurance benefits vary by policy.
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.
