Our Care Model
Our care model is centered around midwifery, supported by OBs and specialists. Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs) are your primary caregivers, known for their expertise in pregnancy and labor, and they work alongside OB-GYNs for more complex cases.
Doulas play a vital role by providing educational and emotional support during your journey. Every patient is paired with a Millie Guide, a practicing doula who meets with you throughout your pregnancy to discuss important topics.
Millie’s integrated team includes lactation consultants and nutritionists to ensure you and your baby thrive together. The statistics speak for themselves, showing a significantly lower likelihood of unnecessary cesarean sections and higher rates of successful vaginal births after cesarean (VBAC).
Client Testimonials
Don’t just take our word for it—hear from our clients! “I switched to Millie at 20 weeks and it was the best decision. The entire team made me feel reassured and looked after,” shares Sarah T. Another client, Emily R., says, “The midwives are so attentive and supportive! I can’t recommend Millie enough.”
Collaborative Care
Curious about collaborative OB/midwifery care? At Millie, we believe that everyone deserves access to both midwifery and OB-GYN care. If your pregnancy is considered high-risk, we’ll ensure a smooth transition of care, working closely with specialists as needed.
