Olivia Kimble is the only local home birth midwife that has a Master’s of Science in Midwifery. This degree confirms her expertise in normal, physiological birth in a home setting and her ability to provide a more medical, modern approach to care when necessary or desired.

Peeing when you laugh is NOT normal. Olivia wrote her master’s thesis about pelvic floor health in pregnancy and has presented nationally as an expert in midwifery-led pelvic floor evaluation. She prioritizes pelvic health prenatally to prepare for an easier birth and a faster postpartum recovery. This is a VERY important part of your body that cannot be ignored!

All 3 state-recommended newborn screenings are available, including the newborn hearing screen, the critical congenital heart disease screen, and the blood spot screen. Also available upon request is preservative-free Vitamin K and erythromycin eye ointment.

RCM aims to make your home birth a smooth and seamless experience. We offer:

• Birth kits (including an RCM mug and tote bag!)

• Birth Pools

RCM is one of the only home birth practices in the SE region that happily accepts your medical insurance. We partner with a national midwifery billing group to expertly Verify your Benefits and bill medical insurance so you have the coverage you need to make home birth affordable.

All laboratory tests are available to families in care at a deeply discounted price compared to hospital-based lab charges. All labs are drawn in-clinic by the midwife. No need to go anywhere else or pay more for this service.

For healthy moms and babies, home birth is a safe option. But birth, no matter where, carries uncertainties. Olivia works diligently prenatally and in labor to evaluate your safety and identify “pink flags” before “red flags.” Safety is always the highest priority.

You have access to everything you need and want without policies that require you to do anything you’re not comfortable with. RCM is the leader in home birth midwifery care for everyone, including VBACs! Breech birth is also supported for healthy candidates.
