Accepts insurance

I am a Mom of 4 adult children and a Mema to 4 beautiful grandchildren. I have been a RN in Labor & Delivery, NBN, Postpartum, Antepartum and Lactation for over 30 years. I am also a certified labor and postpartum doula through CAPPA since 2021. I began my business, Mema D's Doula Services in March 2021, serving expectant and new parents throughout Central Wisconsin. I strive to educate and empower couples in anticipation of the birth experience they desire. Besides my doula certification, I am also a Lamaze certified Childbirth Educator, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and a Newborn Care Specialist. I am CPR and NRP certified.

I wouldn’t go through birth without her! Robin brings a multitude of experience as a nurse, mother, lactation specialist and grandmother. I love how she brought her experience as a OB nurse to help navigate a complex system that doesn’t always want what we may want. She fits in like a good old friend. Whether educating or advocating, she made my husband and I feel incredibly comfortable and well cared for.

I am a mom to 2 boys. My first son was born at 33 weeks via cesarean section due to severe preeclampsia. Due to that he was in the NICU for 35 days. My second son was born via VBAC with the help of having a birth doula. My passion is to teach clients to have birth empowerment. I do this by providing them with evidence based care.

Alex is an amazing and knowledgeable doula. She has given me all the information and help I needed to do a non-medicated birth confidently. Might I add he was a 9.1lb baby. She is so kind and always up for questions and helping in anyway she can. I appreciate her so much, because of Alex I didn’t approach birth with fear. I had a 12 hour labor and I remained relaxed, focused on each surge bringing me closer to meeting our child and melting into each surge. (Follow Alex to know exactly what I mean) Highly recommend working with Alex in anyway possible to gain the confidence for birth like I had.

FAQs

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 Wausau, WI?

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 Wausau, WI?

Whether insurance covers the cost of a midwife in Wausau, WI, depends on your specific insurance plan and the midwife's credentials. Many insurance plans, including Medicaid, may cover midwifery services if the midwife is licensed and operates within a healthcare facility or as part of a covered network. It's important to confirm with your insurance provider and the midwife whether services are included in your plan, and if prior authorization or specific conditions need to be met. Always check directly with your insurance company and healthcare provider to get accurate and detailed information about coverage.

How much does a midwife cost in Wausau, WI?

The cost of a midwife in Wausau, WI, can vary depending on the services provided, the specific midwife or practice, and whether the care is covered by insurance. Generally, the cost for midwifery care, including prenatal visits, delivery, and postpartum care, ranges from $3,000 to $6,000 for out-of-hospital births. If covered by insurance, your out-of-pocket costs may be significantly lower. It's best to contact local midwives or birthing centers directly for precise pricing and details.

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.

— Aunika K., review of Rebecca Fravert January 2024

I purchased her prenatal and postnatal virtual yoga sessions and just loved them! She’s very friendly and easy going which was definitely a good perk! She was very nice about explaining how to do certain poses even though I’m pretty sure I looked like a complete GOOF! But honestly, had a great time with her and would definitely recommend her prenatal and postnatal yoga sessions!!!
