Wendy was such a blessing during my pregnancy and birth. When I was scared, she prayed for me, encouraged me, and made me feel supported. I was not progressing very much and without hesitation she had a plan and the tools I needed to implement that plan. Also a special shout out to her birth assistant, she also made me feel very supported, like a close friend holding my hand to the bathroom after birth, rubbing my back during labor, I am so thankful to have had each of them with me during the process. I will miss seeing them all the time!
— Cheyenne, review of Wendy Owens
We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Wendy and the Tri-Cities Homebirth team in the birth of our first baby. The quality of care provided was exceptional. From the very beginning, they guided us through every step of pregnancy with patience, compassion, and deep knowledge. When it came time for the birth, Wendy’s calm confidence and expertise made all the difference. As the husband, I was so grateful for how approachable they were, always taking time to answer my questions and help me understand how to best support my wife. Wendy, you truly are an answered prayer. We are so thankful for everything you’ve done for our family!
— JR Lee, review of Wendy Owens
We loved our experience with Tri-Cities Home Birth!! Wendy is a kind and understanding person. We so appreciated that at each prenatal visit, she would lay out the facts and give us time for upcoming decisions, with no pressure or judgement one way or the other. I had gestational diabetes and Wendy helped us navigate that to keep me lower risk throughout the pregnancy. We were able to keep it controlled with diet, exercise, and supplements and I had a perfect size baby boy!! This was my first baby, and we didn’t know what options were available locally for other supportive care. She referred us to an incredible prenatal chiropractor, a lactation consultant, and our pediatrician who have been huge supports to us through pregnancy and postpartum. The network of complimentary care was wonderful. She was amazing at the birth. After a beautiful and fast labor, I unfortunately ended up hemorrhaging, and she managed it quickly, professionally and calmly. I needed some stitches afterwards and she was fast and gentle getting me put back together! What could have been an episode of birth trauma, I instead remember as an unfortunate incident where I received top-level, compassionate care. We loved the level of care we received and our friendship with Wendy. Thank you Wendy! ❤️

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 Kingsport, TN?
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 Kingsport, TN?
Tennessee Medicaid covers certified nurse-midwife care in Kingsport, including prenatal visits, birth attendance, and postpartum services, because CNM services are required benefits nationwide. Coverage for licensed or certified professional midwives at home or birth-center deliveries depends on the individual plan and does not apply to every Tennessee member. Local options are very limited, with two midwives listed within 60 miles of Kingsport. Private insurance benefits vary, so check your plan’s network and coverage terms.
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.
