Laura was an incredible support to us before, during, and after the birth of our daughter. She helped us feel prepared through thorough prenatal meetings and by sharing helpful local resources, in addition to the resources she provided herself. During labor, Laura was especially valuable in helping me manage pain and offering different laboring positions and techniques. Her calm, knowledgeable presence made a meaningful difference when things became challenging and we needed to adapt our birth plan. One of the things I appreciated most was how intentional Laura was about making sure we felt comfortable with the decisions being made throughout the birth process. She helped us slow down, understand our options, and make decisions we felt good about. I always felt supported and empowered to advocate for myself, knowing I had someone experienced in my corner. Laura provided compassionate, continuous support from preparation through postpartum recovery, and we are so grateful to have had her with us for such an important experience. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely caring doula!
— Morgan Sample, review of Laura McCullough
Laura is incredible and just the person I needed by my side at all the right times. She took initiative when I needed support and bonded with my other children. She provided reassurance that I was doing all the things I could to support my baby. My family was comfortable having her over no matter what was going on at that time. She fit in perfectly! ♡ ♡ ♡ In addition, this was my third child and first experience with a doula. I am so grateful to have had her this time around and it would have been great to have her with the previous kiddos. ♡ ♡ ♡
— Abbie Estep, review of Laura McCullough
We honestly didn’t know exactly what a doula did before this experience, but now I can confidently say I don’t know how we would have gotten through our birth without her. From the prenatal visits to checking in with us after baby girl was born, she was an incredible source of knowledge, encouragement, and support. She took the time to answer every question we had, provided helpful resources, and made sure we felt prepared every step of the way. During labor, when everything felt overwhelming and emotions were running high, she was a calm, reassuring presence. She helped us understand our options regarding medications, vaccines, and other decisions without ever making us feel pressured. Instead, she empowered us to make informed choices that were right for our family. She also helped communicate with the nurses and physicians when we were too overwhelmed to think clearly, making sure our voices were heard and our wishes were respected. She advocated for us, guided us through the chaos, and truly knew how to navigate the birth process. Her kindness, compassion, and experience gave us so much confidence during a time that could have easily felt frightening. And the snacks she brought were definitely a bonus! If you’re considering hiring a doula, I can’t recommend her highly enough. She was one of the best investments we made for baby girl’s birth, and we’re incredibly grateful for everything she did for our family.

Can you pay for a midwife with HSA or FSA funds in Ellensburg, WA?
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.

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.
