- Birth Kit - At your home visit, we will bring along a tote with needed items for your birth. We've worked hard to keep costs low while still having quality products and everything that we will need. There are other items that some folks have wanted in the past but are not included or required. You are welcome to add anything to the kit you would like. Some of these include: herbs for postpartum, mesh panties or depends etc.
- Inflatable Pool - The ocean reef pool was a common kiddie pool used by many homebirth clients. This pool is currently pricier than usual! There is NO CHARGE to use our pool, but you will need to purchase a liner package from us at a discounted price. The Liner package includes: pool liner, hose to fill, and net for cleaning before emptying.
- PayPal payments and Venmo (@evahomebirth) are accepted for services or we will gladly accept check, cash, money order or credit card in the office.
