I had Kailyn as my birth Doula and I chose the Gold package. I just gave birth on jan 20th and kailyn was with me the whole time I labored till the birth of my baby. She helped me achieve my birth plan which was to give birth natural with no pain medication. She went above and beyond to give me the best care ever. I felt very confident having her by my side during birth and this is an experience that I will always cherish. She was ther for me prenatally and answered all the questions that I had about pregnancy and birth. I am looking forward to working with her postpartum. If you need a birth Doula, you won't regret having her as your birth Doula.
— Mary A., review of Kailyn Browning
Alivia was my doula for my third pregnancy from my second trimester through birth. I had never used a doula before, but I loved my experience. Our first meeting to establish what my goals were for pregnancy and what I needed from her were so helpful to get my focus set on this pregnancy and really set aside time to think and plan. The prenatal meetings were full of great info on ways to have a healthy pregnancy and ways to labor naturally like I wanted. We went over great pregnancy snack ideas and books to read, labor positions and breathing techniques. She was always very responsive when I reached out with questions or updates. When it came time for laboring and birth I'm so glad Alivia was there. Her presence was very calming and reassuring. She coached me through ways to relax and breathe. I honestly grew more confident in having her there, and my whirlwind of a labor needed a little bit of extra confidence and calm. Alivia even went the extra mile by bringing nursing snacks and checking in with me to see how baby and I were doing the next day. Such a considerate and thoughtful person and very good at being an educator and helper.
— Elise H., review of Alivia Ragan
Definitely recommend Lindsey 100%! She is kind caring and VERY REASONABLE with her prices! She takes the time and consideration to make your experience comfortable and help lead a smooth path from birth to recovery.

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 Charleston, WV?
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 Charleston, WV?
West Virginia Medicaid covers care provided by certified nurse-midwives, including prenatal visits, delivery, and postpartum services. Benefits for home or birth-center deliveries attended by licensed or certified professional midwives depend on the plan and do not apply to every member. Midwife availability around Charleston is very limited, with two listed within 60 miles. For private insurance, check your plan’s provider network, birth-setting rules, and cost-sharing requirements.
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.
