Prenatal care with time for you
Hour-long visits that include routine monitoring, education, questions, planning, and support for the emotional side of pregnancy too.
Mountain Midwifery LLC
Home birth midwifery care with time to ask questions, prepare your family, and feel supported.
If you are considering home birth, you may be feeling a mix of things: excitement, curiosity, hope, and maybe some fear too. That is completely normal.
Mountain Midwifery LLC provides personalized prenatal, birth, postpartum, and newborn care for low-risk families in Cache County, Box Elder County, Rich County, and Southern Idaho. BenNi Gage offers traditional midwifery care with appropriate monitoring, supplies within her scope, education, and clear plans for consultation, referral, or transfer when needed. You do not have to know all the answers before you reach out—a free consultation is a place to ask questions, talk through your hopes and concerns, and find out whether home birth care is a good fit for you.
A different kind of care
Care that gives you time to breathe, ask, and understand.
Pregnancy and birth are not just medical events. They involve your body, your emotions, your family, your fears, your hopes, and your need to feel safe.
At Mountain Midwifery, care is built around time, trust, and relationship. Your visits with BenNi are not rushed. Prenatal appointments are typically about an hour long, which gives space for routine checks, education, questions, birth preparation, and the real conversations that often matter most.
You can ask the small questions. You can ask the scary questions. You can ask the same question more than once. BenNi’s goal is to help you feel informed, respected, and confident in your care.
Home birth support
Care for low-risk families who want to give birth in a familiar, private setting with a midwife they know and trust.
Postpartum and newborn care
Support continues after birth with postpartum visits, newborn screenings, breastfeeding support, and care through six weeks postpartum.
Meet BenNi
Meet BenNi Gage
BenNi has been a doula and birth worker for about 17 years. She came into birth work because she knew what it was like to move through unmedicated birth without the kind of support she wished she had. She wanted other women to feel less alone.
As a mother of six, BenNi brings both professional experience and personal understanding to her work. She has had three hospital births and three home births of her own, so she understands the questions that can come with choosing something different.
Her care is gentle, steady, family-centered, and grounded in the belief that birth is a deeply personal experience that deserves preparation, respect, and appropriate support.

What care looks like, step by step.
If you are new to midwifery care, it can help to know what the process actually looks like.
-
Free consultation
You start with a free consultation. This is a chance to meet BenNi, ask questions, talk about your pregnancy, and discuss whether home birth may be an appropriate fit.
-
First prenatal visit
If you decide to begin care, your first prenatal visit gives time to review your health history, pregnancy history, questions, hopes, and any factors that may affect your care.
-
Regular prenatal care
Prenatal visits are typically about one hour long. They include routine monitoring, education, birth preparation, and time for questions and conversation.
-
Home visit around 36–37 weeks
Around 36–37 weeks, BenNi typically does a home visit and brings your birth kit. This helps prepare your space, your supplies, your family, and your support team before labor begins.
-
Labor and birth
When labor begins, you call or text BenNi. She helps decide when the birth team should come. During labor, she monitors mother and baby, supports comfort measures, helps your support people know how to help, and watches for signs that more support may be needed.
-
Immediate postpartum and newborn care
After birth, BenNi continues caring for you and your baby. This may include newborn assessment, support with feeding, monitoring, and making sure both mother and baby are stable.
-
Postpartum visits through six weeks
Care continues with visits at 24–48 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 6 weeks postpartum.

Safety & transfer planning
You can want home birth and still care deeply about safety.
Many families who are drawn to home birth still have real questions about safety. That is not a problem. It is an important part of the conversation.
For some low-risk families, home birth may be an appropriate option when care includes careful screening, ongoing monitoring, a trained midwife, and a clear plan for consultation or transfer when needed. BenNi will talk with you about your health history, your pregnancy, her scope of practice, emergency planning, and what would make hospital care or another provider the better choice.
She carries birth and emergency supplies appropriate to her scope, monitors carefully, consults or refers when needed, and supports transfer if care moves outside the midwifery scope. Transfer planning is not a failure. It is part of responsible care.

Families BenNi has walked with
Every birth story is personal. These families shared what it felt like to be cared for by BenNi through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
“Having BenNi walk alongside our family for the pregnancies, births, and postpartums of two of our babies was such a wonderful journey. Each time we found ourselves encouraged and supported in a way that every family prays for when they are welcoming a new addition to their family.
BenNi combines knowledge and experience with a kindness, empathy, and a bit of humor that is just lovely!”
“BenNi is such an amazing midwife. She was an integral part in the beautiful birth of my first child. I genuinely felt cared for and loved. She was so good at getting me to focus and gain control of my body during the intense parts of labor and delivery. BenNi was very supportive of my birth plan and in helping me create my dream birth. I felt confident in her ability and expertise for any direction my labor decided to go. Once you have a birth experience with BenNi you won’t want anyone else!”
