Find Lactation Consultant Jobs in Oro Valley, AZ

I am looking for a qualified/licensed midwife who supports a natural, low-intervention approach to pregnancy and birth. I have a personal preference to avoid medications and pills whenever medically appropriate. I would like to prioritize nutrition, food-based approaches, lifestyle changes, and pregnancy-safe herbs or supplements when appropriate. I would like my provider to discuss natural alternatives with me when they are considered safe and effective. I understand that “natural” does not always mean safe during pregnancy, and I am willing to follow professional guidance regarding which foods, herbs, vitamins, and supplements are appropriate. If medication or medical intervention becomes necessary for my safety or my baby’s safety, I want my provider to explain the reason, risks, benefits, and alternatives whenever possible. I am also interested in a low-intervention home birth with appropriate prenatal monitoring, newborn care, postpartum care, and a clear emergency/hospital-transfer plan.

This is my second baby, my first ended up in an unexpected c section and i will be pushing for a VBAC this baby and looking forward to a TOLAC labor. I will be giving birth at Banner university medical center and have a midwife as my provider for this pregnancy. My labor with my first born was incredibly traumatic and i’m hoping to find the right person to help me through the tough parts. I’m not too sure on budget and am willing to talk about prices and see what we can do. I had loads of issues nursing my first baby because of stress and would love to exclusively breastfeed this baby.

Planning to birth at TMC Midwifery Center, Tucson, AZ. Currently under the care of a midwife. Budget is less than $2000. Looking to incorporate some type of childbirth/natural birth education with a doula if possible before the birth. Planning to have a natural birth with minimal interventions as possible.
