Covid-19 hospital policies
During this challenging time, I want my clients to know at which hospitals I can support births in person, along with their partner. As always, I can attend any home birth (attended by a licensed midwife) in person, provided you or your partner are not COVID positive. I am also unable to attend a hospital birth if you or your partner are COVID positive. Additionally, I will mask throughout your labor experience with me. I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (Pfizer).
