Our Birth Approach
SUPPORTED AT-HOME LABOR
We support the belief that people with low-risk pregnancies benefit from completing the early stages of labor at-home. So when you go into labor, your OB or midwife will talk you through what you need to know on the phone and let you know when it's time to come in.
MANAGE PAIN YOUR WAY
Epidural, nitrous oxide, acupressure, or breathwork—it’s up to you. And you can change your mind.
IMMEDIATE BONDING WITH BABY
No need to add immediate skin-to-skin or delayed cord clamping to your birth plan—this is standard at Oula. We’re here to support your breastfeeding wishes and all routine medical care will be performed without separating you from your new baby. If you need a c-section, we'll minimize separation as much as possible.
YOU’RE FREE TO MOVE
We’re here to help you get into whatever position feels best for you, and we can also provide suggestions. Bring music if you want to dance, sing or chill out and we’ll have birthing balls you can utilize as well.
WE WILL NEVER RUSH YOU
We take a hands-off approach to your labor as long as everything looks safe and healthy for you and your baby.
WE LOVE DOULAS
We’ll welcome your doula with open arms to our care team and/or help refer you to one that matches your budget.
MEETING YOU WHERE YOU ARE, WITHOUT JUDGMENT
I recently switched care to Oula from an OB and I am so glad I did! I feel incredibly heard, respected, and informed regarding every question I have and decision I have made thus far in this pregnancy. Midwives take care to give real evidence and data behind why every recommendation is given.Alexandra Y.
The difference in terms of patient care, vibe, everything is night and day. Oula is so wonderful! They really treat you like a whole person, not just a number. Highly recommend.Rachel H.
I wanted a holistic pregnancy experience where I felt heard and seen as a woman of color. That's exactly what I got from Oula! The beautiful space in Brooklyn always got me excited to go to all my appointments. The entire team is so attentive and thoughtful. 10/10 rating, and I plan to come back for my next pregnancy.
I am incredibly happy with the quality of care I have received from the Oula team throughout my pregnancy, delivery and postpartum journey. I have always felt heard and respected, and everyone on the team has provided a compassionate, evidence-based approach to my care that has helped me to be informed and empowered in my decision-making. This is how I wish all health care was like!Darcy A.
My first pregnancy ended in a traumatic labor experience and emergency c-section that was rushed and likely unnecessary. For my 2nd pregnancy I really wanted a VBAC. I wanted to be supported and heard throughout my pregnancy. I wanted there to be focus on my preferences as well as mine and my baby's safety.

FAQ
What is a midwife?
Midwives are medical experts who specialize in supporting people through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. They focus on low-intervention, personalized care, while working with OBGYNs if any complications arise. Midwives are trained to consider your lived experience—physical, emotional, and personal, ensuring that your care reflects your individual needs and preferences.
What is the difference between Oula and a regular OBs office?
At Oula, our midwives lead the majority of your prenatal care, working closely with our OBGYNs to ensure you receive the right care, from the right expert, at the right time. We know every pregnancy is unique, and our trusted team of midwives, OBs, and care navigators is here to support you in the moments that matter most—whether it's during your anatomy ultrasound or when you need a referral for mental health support.
Does Oula take insurance?
Yes, we do! We are in-network with most major insurance providers, including some Medicaid carriers. Note that each insurance company has dozens of plans, so we’ll need to verify the eligibility of your exact plan.
When should I schedule my first visit?
Unlike standard maternity care, we’ll see you as soon as you get a positive pregnancy test. Your pregnancy care at Oula starts with a Pregnancy Intake visit, regardless of how far along you are.
