Services
Oak Grove Midwifery of Green Bay, Wisconsin offers licensed midwifery services to families in Green Bay and Northeastern Wisconsin. Consultations and prenatal appointments are offered in our downtown Green Bay office.
We offer care primarily to healthy, low-risk women who plan to give birth in our birthing suite or in their own homes; however we believe that midwifery should be available to every woman who desires it, including those with high risk pregnancies and planning hospital births.
Families with complex circumstances may benefit from receiving dual care by a licensed midwife and obstetrician. In cases like this we will design a modified care plan that fits your needs.
Our aim is to educate you about pregnancy and birth and promote natural birth as one way to prevent complications, even in high risk situations. We also assist with breast feeding and follow up care in your home so you may be discharged from the hospital earlier and not make extra trips out during postpartum or surgical recovery.
Our midwives are sensitive to cultural and familial values; we have Spanish-speaking staff members. Our midwives frequently work with other licensed midwives for back-up or when additional opinions are needed. When we do, your private information will be protected. We also have access to pastoral council when difficulties occur.
