Midwife Megan MacInnes featured on Boston.com and WBZ!

Megan MacInnes CNM and the Midwives at Mount Auburn were featured recently on Boston.com and WBZ . After being diagnosed with breast cancer, the Midwives at Mount Auburn donated 6 weeks of earned time to Megan so she could take time off without worrying about financial needs while she was receiving treatment.

Megan recently spoke at the Storytellers benefit for the Hoffman Breast Center at Mount Auburn hospital, where she received her treatment. She is now cancer free and back at work full time.

Transfers for the Months of June and July

Because we are committed to providing personal, true midwifery care, MAMA is unable to accept transfer patients due in the months of June and July.

We are still accepting patients who are due in other months. If you are interested in establishing care with MAMA and are due in any other month, please give one of our offices a call. And as always, we are accepting new GYN patients.

Brand New Waltham office at Waverly Oaks!

The brand new Waltham office at Waverly Oaks is now open! Mary Culliton CNM, Amanda Breed CNM, and Julia Dickinson CNM are seeing patients at this office for full scope midwifery care. For more information check out Mount Auburn Hospital's summary of the OB/GYN office at Waltham.

Midwives have been ‘with woman’ for centuries. The Midwives at Mount Auburn proudly carry on this
time-honored tradition as we care for women through pregnancy and birth. To a midwife, you are much more than a pregnant belly. You have a life: family and friends; home, work, community, hobbies; your strengths,
and the things you’d like to do better; your hopes and dreams. They can all affect your health, and we try to keep all these important parts of your life in view as we work with you toward a healthy pregnancy and a safe,
satisfying birth experience.
Midwives also have a great deal to offer women of all ages. Girls who are becoming women, women past their childbearing years, and those who choose not to become mothers need the kind of sensitive, prevention-focused health care that the Midwives at Mount Auburn provide. Whether you need that annual GYN exam you’ve been putting off, a birth control method, or advice on dealing with troubling menopause symptoms, we are here to help.
