Introductions

Finally time for my first post on my new blog! I'll just start out with an introduction of myself and some of my thoughts about midwifery and home birth
My name is Sharon McDougal. I am a Registered Midwife (RM) through the State of Colorado, and a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) nationally through NARM - North American Registered Midwives.
I am a midwife because I whole heartedly believe that pregnancy, labor and childbirth are all a natural part of life. It is a time in life when a woman and her family need support, love and encouragement.
I provide complete care to women throughout their pregnancy, this includes:
Preconception Counseling, Complete Prenatal Exams (Monitoring of mothers vitals, Fetal Growth, Lab Work, Etc.), Homebirth (including labor support), Postpartum Care for mother and baby through 6 weeks postpartum, etc.
I offer a complimentary consultations, this gives you an opportunity to meet with me and ask any questions you may have regarding me, my practice, midwifery and homebirth.
Once you've begun care with me our appointments generally last about an hour, giving you plenty of time to ask any questions you may have and also giving us the opportunity to really get to know one another throughout your pregnancy.
That is me, and my practice in a nut shell! Check out my website www.beautifullyborn.com for more info or just call or email me
