Empowered Birth & Postpartum Care

A midwife can provide holistic, personalized care focused on natural birth and supporting your body’s innate ability to give birth. Unlike an OB-GYN, midwives specialize in physiological birth and emphasize education, informed decision-making, and emotional support. If complications arise, we will collaborate with healthcare providers to ensure the best possible care. 

Yes! Research shows that planned home births with a qualified midwife are just as safe as hospital births for low-risk pregnancies. I bring years of experience, monitoring tools, and emergency protocols to ensure the safest possible environment. If complications arise, we will have a clear plan for medical transfer when needed. 

Absolutely! One of the best things about home birth is that it allows your partner and family to be as involved as you want them to be. Whether it’s helping with comfort measures, catching the baby, or just being present, we ensure your loved ones are part of this beautiful journey. 

Low milk supply is often fixable with proper feeding techniques, frequent nursing, and addressing any underlying causes. I will assess your situation and offer strategies to naturally boost your supply. 

I provide comprehensive postpartum care for the first six weeks after birth, but many families continue working with me for breastfeeding support, emotional well-being, and holistic healing well beyond that. 

 At this time, we are self-pay only. However, midwifery and lactation services are often covered by insurance or reimbursed through HSAs/FSAs. We can support you in navigating this process by providing documentation for reimbursement. 

Midwifery is rooted in evidence-based care and has been used successfully for centuries. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes midwives as essential in reducing unnecessary interventions and improving birth outcomes. 

 Choosing home birth allows you to:

✔️ Give birth in a calm, familiar space that promotes relaxation and smooth labor.

✔️ Avoid unnecessary interventions that may not align with your birth plan.

✔️ Have complete autonomy over your choices, movements, and birthing positions.

✔️ Experience uninterrupted bonding and immediate skin-to-skin contact without hospital policies restricting your choices.

 New City Family Services proudly supports Mariyam Midwifery through marketing and outreach, helping connect more families to compassionate and holistic birth care. While we help raise awareness and promote their services, we do not cover the cost of client care. All midwifery and postpartum services are provided independently by Mariyam Midwifery. Families interested in receiving care should reach out directly to the midwife to discuss options, availability, and pricing.
