Pregnancy and entry into parenthood are among the most transformative experiences – and you deserve care that meets you in these moments. Families across Fairfield County now have access to Oula, a midwifery-led maternity care practice provided by Stamford Health, offering comprehensive support before, during, and after pregnancy. Their services include preconception counseling, pregnancy care, and birth at Stamford Hospital.
A Best-of-Both-Worlds Approach
Oula opened its first clinic in Brooklyn in 2021 to offer something different: the whole-person care that midwifery is known for, supported by the clinical expertise of obstetrics. Since then, Oula has delivered 2,500+ babies in NYC, with lower rates of c-sections and premature births than city benchmarks.
Now with a new clinic in Norwalk, Fairfield County families can experience Oula’s patient-centered care—led by midwives, supported by OB/GYNs and care navigators—combined with Stamford Health’s long tradition of clinical excellence in maternity services.
Maternity Care With You at the Center
While we think of pregnancy as a series of phases — getting pregnant, going through trimesters, having a baby, becoming a parent — the actual experience varies wildly from person to person. From guiding you through your birth preferences to supporting your mental and emotional well-being, the team at Oula provided by Stamford Health, meets you where you are with compassionate, personalized care.
A Midwifery-Led, Team Approach
The care team is led by midwives and supported by OBGYNs and care navigators, ensuring patients see the right provider at the right time. This team approach not only creates a supportive, affirming experience but also leads to excellent outcomes that all mothers and babies want: fewer c-sections and preterm births compared to national averages.*
Care You Deserve—Covered by Insurance
Too often, comprehensive care comes with a premium; not here. Oula provided by Stamford Health, offers preconception counseling, prenatal care, hospital delivery, postpartum support, and gynecology care—all in-network with leading commercial insurance carriers and some Medicaid plans. Their care navigators are also available to guide patients through scheduling, paperwork, and billing questions, as well as for 24/7 questions in the patient portal.
More Than a Clinic—A Community
The Norwalk clinic was designed to feel as supportive as the care itself. From cozy throws and healthy snacks to thoughtful books and kids’ toys, every detail was hand-picked. Beyond the clinic walls, Oula offers monthly expert-led virtual workshops, local events, and a vibrant Slack community where patients can connect and get guidance from the care team—all free and exclusive to Oula patients.
