I was extremely nervous going into my third pregnancy, as my first two were not great experiences. I had many worries about being considered “high risk” due to preeclampsia, high blood pressure, and gestational diabetes—none of which ended up occurring this time. From the very beginning, Brieana listened to all of my concerns and consistently offered support along with thoughtful ways to help reduce those risks. Brieana allowed me complete autonomy throughout my care. She was incredibly kind, listened to every concern, welcomed all of my “stupid” questions, and was always clear and communicative. She was also wonderful with my kids during appointments, letting them be present and learn about the process, which meant so much to our family. Her presence during my prenatal care, birth, and postpartum period made a huge difference. Because of her support and guidance, I was able to have the home water birth I had always wanted. She is extremely knowledgeable and always presented options (medical wise and homeopathic) without any pressure—I never felt like I had to do anything. I would wholeheartedly recommend Brieana to anyone seeking a midwife.

Rhonda is a kind, sincere person with a true passion to help moms have a great experience of birth based on the mom’s hopes and preferences. She fit into the dynamic of my husband and I very well and made my husband so grateful to have a doula, and of course I was so thankful both of our births to have Rhonda with us.

I would truly recommend Brooke to anyone who is having a baby. She made me feel so seen and cared for every single step of the way. One of the best things about Brooke is the attention she gives to well-being of the mama. She really understands that this journey is not just about a single moment, but cares for moms during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She is exactly who I wanted to walk by my side through the beautiful and vulnerable process of bringing a baby into the world.

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 Rochester, MN?
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 Rochester, MN?
Minnesota Medicaid covers certified nurse-midwife care in Rochester, including prenatal, birth, and postpartum services, as required of Medicaid programs nationwide. Coverage for home or birth-center care provided by licensed or certified professional midwives varies by plan and does not apply to every Minnesota Medicaid member. Local options are scarce, with one midwife listed within 60 miles of Rochester. Private insurance benefits depend on the individual policy, so confirm coverage with the insurer.
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.
