Jennifer West grabs her phone and reviews some paper work before heading to Owensboro to meet with one of her clients at her 38-week mark before she goes into labor weeks later. “I meet with clients twice before the birth so I have some type of relationship with them before the birth,” West stated. “I meet with them once after the second trimester and again at 38-weeks. I’m with them the duration of the birth and stay with the mother until they are in their postpartum birth room and a final postpartum visit.”
