Relationship centered midwifery care for pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
We believe every family deserves time, thoughtful education, and compassionate care. Pregnancy is filled with questions, decisions, and new experiences, and you deserve the space to understand your options without feeling rushed.
Whether you're exploring midwifery care or preparing to welcome your baby, we're here to walk alongside your family with personalized care, honest guidance, and the support to make informed decisions with confidence.
Care begins with knowing you.
Every family has a unique story, and we believe your care should reflect that. Getting to know you isn't separate from your care—it's an essential part of it.
As we learn about your hopes, questions, and goals, we can provide guidance that's tailored to your family and walk alongside you with the care you deserve.
Where questions become confidence.
Meaningful care can't be rushed. That's why we make time for real conversations, thoughtful education, and the topics that matter most to you. With every appointment, we help you prepare for what's ahead so you can move through pregnancy feeling informed, supported, and confident.

Questions are always welcome.
Choosing maternity care comes with a lot of questions, and we believe every one deserves a thoughtful answer. Here are a few of the questions families ask most often. If you don't see yours, we'd love to talk.
-
It’s understandable to ask this. For healthy people with low-risk pregnancies, planned home birth with qualified maternity care providers may be an appropriate option.
Safety begins long before labor. At Anthus, we carefully assess risk throughout pregnancy, monitor both mother and baby, and follow established Texas requirements and clinical protocols to determine when home remains an appropriate place to give birth.
We also come prepared with equipment and medications for complications that can be appropriately managed at home, including oxygen, IV fluids, medications for postpartum hemorrhage, and newborn resuscitation equipment.
Home birth is not the right setting for every pregnancy. Part of providing safe care is recognizing when it is a good option and being willing to change plans when a mother or baby needs a different level of care.
-
Many healthy people may be candidates for home birth, but the answer is individual.
We begin with a thorough health history and risk assessment and continue evaluating throughout pregnancy. Certain medical conditions or pregnancy complications, such as some hypertensive disorders, diabetes, significant thyroid disease, or particular uterine surgery histories, may require care in a hospital setting or consultation with another provider.
Some factors that are commonly assumed to rule out home birth often do not. Being over 35 does not automatically make a pregnancy high risk. Reaching 40 weeks does not mean you have “gone too long.” Many healthy pregnancies can continue beyond the due date, with home birth remaining an option up to 42 weeks when mother and baby are doing well. And having had a previous cesarean does not automatically mean you cannot have a vaginal birth or give birth at home.
Every pregnancy is different, so we look at your complete health history, your current pregnancy, and how you and your baby are doing. Our goal is to help you understand your options rather than assume the answer based on one factor alone.
-
Midwives and obstetricians have different areas of expertise and models of care, and both play important roles in maternity care.
Midwives primarily care for healthy pregnancies and approach pregnancy and birth as normal physiological processes while remaining attentive and prepared for complications.
One of the differences families often notice is time. Prenatal visits are typically longer, creating space to ask questions, understand your options, build trust, and participate actively in decisions about your care.
At Anthus, continuity matters too. You build relationships with the midwives caring for you throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum season. The goal is not simply to care for a pregnancy, but to know and support the family growing through it.
-
A hospital transfer is not a failure. It is one of the ways a thoughtful care plan can adapt when a mother or baby needs something that is better provided in a hospital setting.
A transfer may become necessary during pregnancy or labor if circumstances change. When possible, we identify concerns early, explain what we are seeing, and make decisions together.
If hospital care becomes the appropriate next step, we communicate with the receiving care team to help create a smooth transition. One of your midwives will accompany you to the hospital and remain with you for the rest of your birth, continuing to support you and your family alongside your hospital care team.
The location of your care may change. Our commitment to caring for you does not.
-
Anthus does not directly accept insurance from major commercial insurance carriers. We do work with many Christian health sharing ministries and some companies that provide maternity benefits for employees and their families.
For families who would like to seek reimbursement from their insurance company, we can provide a superbill with the appropriate ICD-10 codes for you to submit directly to your carrier. Reimbursement depends on your individual plan and is not guaranteed.
We are happy to help you understand the financial side of care so you can make an informed decision for your family.
-
Anthus uses a global fee that includes prenatal care, standard lab work, labor and birth care, and postpartum care for both mother and baby.
Some services outside the global fee, such as additional nonstandard lab work or ultrasounds provided and billed separately by a sonographer, may involve additional costs.
Full payment is not required all at once. Families can make payments throughout their care, and we accept cash, check, or Zelle.
We believe the cost of care should be clear from the beginning. We’ll explain what is included, what may involve an additional expense, and how payments work so you can consider the full picture without surprises.
Let's start with a conversation.
We'd love the opportunity to answer your questions, hear your story, and help you decide if Anthus is the right fit for your family.
