We understand that having a baby is an exciting experience for both you and your family.  Therefore, we like to involve your family in your prenatal care.  If you already have children, they are  welcome to attend your visits.  They can color the various stages of their sibling's development and hold the doppler to help listen to the baby's heartbeat.

Our prenatal care and delivery includes complete prenatal care and a hospital delivery with your choice of anesthesia.  We take the time to explain every phase of your pregnancy, appropriately monitor your health, provide nutritional counseling, and provide written prescriptions in addition to natural remedies and techniques in order to ensure the best labor and delivery possible.  

We request the same tests that most OB/GYN offices require such as bloodwork, ultrasounds and vaginal cultures.  If necessary, we will work closely with specialists like perinatologists throughout your pregnancy, and with a collaborating physician in the event that a C-section is needed.

We take the time to involve you as an active participant in the decision-making process through education about your body, your health and your baby's needs.  This is in order to provide you with an enriching and optimal pregnancy and delivery.  We like women to leave our office armed with plenty of reading materials -- particularly our pregnant patients.  So before leaving our website, please stop by our Links section for some of the sites, books and health care related materials that we recommend.

Martha currently delivers at University Medical Center (U.M.C.) hospital only.  She is looking into delivering at other hospitals as well.  UMC has individual birthing rooms, the lowest rate of C-sections in Las Vegas, and offers a tea and video tour of their facility for before you deliver.

If you have additional questions, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page or call our office at 702-365-9929.

We Provide The Midwives Model of Care

The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are
normal life events and includes:

Monitoring the physical, psychological and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle;

Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support;

Minimizing technological interventions; and

Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention.

The application of this model has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section.

You deserve to have a safe and enriching pregnancy and childbirth

At Alternatives For Women, prenatal care and delivery is provided by Martha Drohobyczer, Certified Nurse-Midwife (C.N.M.) and the staff of Alternatives For Women.  We realize that pregnancy can be a very stressful time so we do our best to make you feel comfortable and at ease, while providing you with the best prenatal care and delivery possible.

When you walk through the doors of Alternatives For Women you are met with a friendly greeting and a warm office setting.  The Congratulations! board above our cushioned office chairs, lists the names of women whose babies Martha has recently delivered.  Our exam rooms feature diverse magazines and colorful health care materials on the walls.
