MidwivesCare, LLC is proud to offer women and their families an opportunity for the blessing of a natural, undisturbed birth process.

MidwivesCare LLC midwives are women who believe we are called to provide home birth services to families. Most of us have homebirths in our own families. We look forward to sharing our blessing with your families.

The MidwivesCare LLC difference at a glance!

Consistent: MidwivesCare LLC has been serving home birth families since 2016. With approximately 600 births to women who reached term planning homebirth, our practice statistics are excellent. Our vaginal birth rate is approximately 97% while our homebirth rate is approximately 96%. Our maternal mortality and intrapartum (in labor)/post birth neonatal mortality rate is 0%. Hospital induction rate, newborn hospital admission within 2 weeks of birth at home and instrumental deliveries are under 1%. Compare our statistics to any area home birth practice. Any practice of excellence will publicly post their statistics to provide transparency to their potential families.

Convenience: Multiple office locations plus one for urgency, in home visits last month of pregnancy for standard client as well as dopplers/blood pressure cuffs for Telehealth where desired make us the most convenient CNM-led group homebirth practice in Illinois! We have portable ultrasound machines so that we can enhance our home visit services in the event we cannot find a heartbeat or need to confirm baby’s position. We also independently contract an in-home pelvic floor therapist and in-home lactation consultants! The in home visits are provided by the midwife(s) who staff the office further from you. We do this to maintain the intimate relationship we and our ladies seek through midwifery care! To meet everyone earlier, you can go to any office. Appointments are all about what the client family wants!

Cost: MidwivesCare LLC offers hearing screenings, CCHD screenings and PKU. We also offer in home biliblanket service and bilirubin checks via serum or transcutaneous (through the skin with no poke!) bilirubin screening! MidwivesCare LLC’s cost is over $500 less than leading area CNM led homebirth practices. We also have the deepest discount for certified nurse midwife-led homebirth services for women who can prove financial need by qualifying for Medicaid. With our in home/office triage, our full spectrum newborn services, and our in-office lab draws and limited ultrasound, we are the best service for the least expenditure in Illinois or Indiana. Because homebirth is our culture, we have decided to live frugal lives such that others can experience our homebirth blessings.

Culture: MidwivesCare LLC midwives and assistants have a home-based healthcare culture. While we start with homeopathics/herbs/exercises, we understand our clients may encounter a need for the tools of healthcare. Our prime drive is that we want our families to stay HOME if at all possible. We offer in office or in home triage ( labs, midwife/nurse assessment, non stress test, limited ultrasound) wherever possible to minimize our client’s use of ER or Labor and Delivery hospital services. We offer nitrous oxide and OB TENS units to decrease transfer rates for epidurals. We offer the biliblanket so that babies can stay with their mothers under the guidance of their supportive pediatric provider. Again–most of us had babies at home ourselves or in our family legacy: we want to stay home wherever possible. Home triage, home birth and home management of non-life threatening issues is our culture.

Calling: We pray over our practice regularly. Our churches pray for us also. We hope to be guided and blessed on the spiritual level so that the women and families we serve can experience blessings of safety, peace, and family legacy through us. We serve women of all faiths but we ourselves are Christian women in the service of Christ.

Customized: We support YOUR beliefs because we understand the importance of RESPECTFUL care in midwifery and birth. We more than support–we provide tools to make your birth dreams reality! We offer a specialized tub for outdoor births. We have Lotus birth kits. We have delivered babies outdoors, in tents, hotels, tiny homes, RVs, campers, apartments, etc. We understand what it is to have religious or medical traditions or thought processes that don’t fit the medically minded box. We do offer standard medical care although we do not offer vaccinations on site. We appreciate our families’ viewpoints. Our clients are teaching us! We offer alternatives or informed consent/declining waivers for healthcare screenings or “standard” medications or tests. Get the PERSONALIZED care your family seeks! We want families to have the births and services THEY desire. Just as many of us had for ourselves. Above all, MidwivesCare LLC is about sharing our blessings and providing CARE by MIDWIVES.

Community: MidwivesCare LLC is preferred by and we prefer to refer to the pediatric practices with providers who worked at Homefirst providing homebirth themselves including Jennifer Eisenstein FNP at the Eisenstein Clinic in Arlington Heights, Dr Mark Zumhagen at Fearfully and Wonderfully Made, INC in Orland Park and Dr Paul Shauttaur at the Green Medical Practice in Elmhurst. Rachel and Colleen have known, had our families cared for and also cared for family/staff of these providers for over 2 decades. Again, we are sharing OUR blessings!
