Find Midwife Jobs in Novi, MI

Midwife and/or doula. I went to my first OB appt yesterday and after the OB recommended the Covid & flu vax, I realized I can’t trust anything she says. I would like to have the most natural, non-invasive pregnancy & birth possible while also keeping it safe and having access to a hospital if needed. I think home or a birth center would be best for me, as I have severe medical trauma from past experiences. Budget is still up for discussion.

Birth at hospital, I have blue cross complete Medicaid and I’d like minimal intervention and testing. I want nipt testing because I have a child with downs, I want ultrasounds and I want to birth all natural and have delayed cord clamping until the cord is white. I want minimal people in the room and just want a calm dark environment to birth naturally in a safe place just in case there’s complications because all my babies have had jaundice

Home birth 5000 I’m looking to have our second baby in a calm, serene environment created in our home!

I require any provider who works with me during my birth and pregnancy to have a minimum of 2 years experience. And understand that all women’s body’s are different. I have chronic illnesses and my pregnancy and a bit different from others. Especially when it comes to what I can do and what it has done to my body. I want a licensed midwife. That is non negotiable. I only speak English so there is no need for another language or any translation. I do have a processing disorder and tend not to understand if people speak to fast so someone with patience and the ability to see you as someone giving life to the world not just another pay check. I expect my birth doulas to not push personal preferences onto me seeings as how I have a specific goal and plan in mind. Asking questions and figuring out any loose ends is different but a no is a no. That goes for anyone who works with me. For a night nanny, the responsibility’s would be, laundry, dishes, light cleaning. I will be Breast feeding so i will have a frozen stash. If I am up I will use my Breast and store the rest.
