Prenatal care is where the depth of relationship and trust we rely on during birth is intentionally cultivated. Our prenatal appointments are approximately one hour long, allowing ample time for connection, education, and individualized care.

Throughout your pregnancy, you will rotate visits with our the midwives to foster continuity, familiarity, and trust within the entire team. Visits are typically scheduled every four weeks until 28 weeks, every two weeks from 28–36 weeks, and weekly from 36 weeks until birth.

Our standard care package includes a blend of office and home visits. Families may also choose a fully in-home prenatal care schedule for an additional fee.

Homebirth Care

Birth unfolds most smoothly when the birthing person feels deeply safe and supported. For many, that sense of safety lives within their own home. Shifrah Sisters Midwifery offers comprehensive homebirth care, including all prenatal, labor, birth, and postpartum services provided in the comfort of your home.
