Services

Wherever you are in the family building process, Weaving Family is here to support you. Whether you are just starting to consider pregnancy, planning a homebirth, or need support post-partum we are here for you. We also provide gynecologic care and intrauterine insemination (IUI). All in-person care is done in your own home for optimal comfort, ease, and access.

Lactation

We believe the “right” way to feed your baby is whatever works for your family. We support and provide counseling for breastfeeding/chestfeeding, formula feeding, and combo feeding.

Prenatal visits are available to discuss feeding options and inform decision making. For parents who do wish to breastfeed/chestfeed, prenatal education is a fundamental component to nursing successfully. We also offer guidance to non-gestational parents who wish to induce lactation.

Common feeding issues we address are: pain with nursing, improving latch, questions about supply and proper milk intake.

Fertility and Conception

Our fertility care and conception support centers the needs of individuals and families. These visits are designed to answer all your questions about the logistics of getting pregnant, including for those who have been on HRT and/or don’t have sperm readily available. We’ll cover preconception health, including any necessary labs, and discuss options for sourcing sperm if needed. We offer IUI for clients who purchase frozen sperm from a sperm bank.

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

IUI is a simple procedure where washed sperm is placed directly in the uterus to achieve pregnancy. IUI increases the chance of conception when using frozen sperm.

Well-Person Care

Gender- and sexuality-affirming, trauma-informed gynecologic care from the comfort of your own home. Care can include:

  • cervical cancer screening (Pap smear)

  • contraception counseling and prescribing

  • STD testing

Post-Partum Packages

Not all families can or want to have a homebirth, but all families deserve holistic post-partum care. Our post-partum care is designed to nurture and hold you during this vulnerable, raw transition period. Your family will benefit from the midwife’s medical knowledge and her years of doula experience. Post-partum packages include the same offerings listed under post-partum and newborn care above, as well as light housekeeping and meal preparation. We offer three care packages:

  • Weaving Cotton Package- two 4-hour visits in the first week after birth*

  • Weaving Linen Package- five 4-hour visits in the first two weeks after birth

  • Weaving Wool Package- ten 4-hour visits in the first month after birth

*We offer post-partum care to families that expand via adoption and surrogacy, as well as to families whose babies have been in the NICU. If you are expecting to bring a newborn or NICU graduate home and looking for support please get in touch! You can purchase the same packages and visits will be timed according to when the baby or babies arrive home.
