First Trimester Support

Reassurance and support in pregnancy are essential for a confident and healthy start, and our service delivers exactly that. The earliest weeks, from 4 to 10, are often a whirlwind of emotions, blending excitement with uncertainty. We stand with you as a steadfast ally, providing expert guidance, meaningful connection, and compassionate care from the very first moments.

​

With this package, you secure peace of mind from the very start. Early access to essential lab work and screenings means your health and your baby’s health are monitored immediately

​

  • One consult call

  • Comprehensive intake visit

  • Early detection and support​ (Particularly vital for those with a history of miscarriages or concerns about pregnancy viability, our proactive approach aims to secure the best outcomes for you and your baby.)

  • Undergo a thorough physical examination and explore options for essential early pregnancy lab work (such as iron, thyroid, Vitamin D, serial hCG and Progesterone)

  • Referrals to complementary providers

  • Ultrasound referrals

  • Follow-up support via phone and text (through 12 weeks)

Emotional Support

The first trimester can bring joy, fear, or uncertainty (sometimes all in one day). We hold space for your feelings and experiences, offering reassurance, perspective, and a safe place to share what’s on your heart.

Labs and Ultrasound

We walk you through the available options, explain what each test or scan means, and support you in making informed choices. You’ll have access to the same standard of care as elsewhere, but with the added benefit of time and shared decision-making.

  • Midwifery care is rooted in time, presence, and relationship. Our visits are typically 60 minutes, giving space for your questions and for us to truly know you, your baby, and your family. We provide the same labs, ultrasounds, and procedures you’d expect elsewhere—but with shared decision-making at the core.

    We believe you are the ultimate authority on your body and your baby. Our role is to offer guidance, evidence-based information, and resources, while honoring your choices and supporting your journey with humility and respect.

  • We take care of most of your prenatal testing right in our office, including vaginal cultures, pap smears, blood work (including genetic screens), and urine tests—so you can get the care you need without extra trips. We work with Quest and Unity, which accepts 99% of insurances out there. The lab also offers reduced pricing for uninsured clients.

  • Full Circle books up quickly. As soon as you know you are pregnant and looking for a home birth, start your consultation and reserve your spot.

    We love to see you starting in the first trimester, specifically by your 12th week gestation. This will give us plenty of time to build a trusting relationship. If you are currently being seen by another practice, we will facilitate transfer of records and can establish you into even into the third trimester.

    However, the earlier the better as evidence shows that the midwifery model of care prenatally reduces poor outcomes, inductions, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, cesareans, and poor birth experiences.

  • Absolutely! We offer DUTCH hormonal testing amongst other options during our preconception visit.

    Learning about your cycle:

    - Basal Body thermometer for temp tracking. 

    - Inito or Mira are cool tech for tracking your cycle through hormones.

The book " The Mind-Gut Connection - by Emeran Mayer” is a great way to start learning. Also, nutrition; this book "Real food for fertility" is the best place to start.
