San Diego Midwife is a comprehensive midwifery practice providing a wide range of midwifery services for home, birth center (BC) and hospital birth mothers across San Diego County. We specialize in VBACs (vaginal birth after cesarean), home births, and waterbirths. San Diego Midwife also provides a wide range of other services including child birth classes, lactation coaching and support services, herbal/homeopathic counseling, in-home postpartum and newborn care, doula & monitrice services, and much, much more.
We view child birth as a natural event and not a medical emergency. Having a child is a transformative experience, a journey that calls for particular attention to mind-body-spirit harmony.

Our Services
-
Prenatal Care
Jamin provides complete prenatal care throughout your pregnancy. Studies have shown that the more you know and trust your midwife or caregiver, the better prepared you’ll be for labor.
-
Labor and Delivery
Your midwife arrives once active labor begins (or sooner if you’d like her by your side beforehand). At your home or the birth center she will monitor your vital signs, the progress of labor, the baby’s heartbeat and general well being.
-
Childbirth Classes
Our online childbirth education class is the only exclusively midwife-led course available! We will discuss proper nutrition for a healthy pregnancy, trust in birth, risk and benefits of pain medication, birth plans, understanding and coping with labor, the postpartum period and much more.
-
Prenatal & Postpartum Chiropractic
Prepare your body for a healthy pregnancy with prenatal chiropractic. Chiropractic can help you feel your best and help to promote optimal pelvic alignment for mom and baby. All chiropractic appointments are located at our sister location: Born & Raised Wellness
-
Placenta Encapsulation
Placenta encapsulation has become increasingly popular over the last several years. Although there is limited evidence-based information about the advantages or negative effects of consuming your placenta, there are many claimed benefits.
-
Postpartum Care
Postpartum care includes home visits on the first and third days after the birth and office visits and phone consultations as needed until a final check up at six weeks postpartum. Your midwife is on-call for you during this period and if you need additional care beyond six weeks, we have an open-door policy!
-
Lactation Consulting
Jamin provides home visits and phone consultations to new mothers who may be experiencing challenges with latch on, engorgement, sore nipples, plugged ducts, mastitis or low milk supply and offer the support needed to foster success for the breastfeeding family.
-
Waterbirth
More and more women are discovering how wonderful a bath of warm water can be during labor and birth. Relaxing in warm water to relieve discomfort has been used for everything from backaches and other sore muscles to stress and menstrual pain.
