PreNatal Support
Being a birth doula goes far beyond being there for your labor and delivery. From the first time we meet during a free consultation, I will listen to your needs, take time to educate you in some general aspects of natural birth, and get to know you and your partner. From the time you decide to have me as your labor support, I will be available by call or text during the day anytime you have a question or concern. About a month before your due date, I will meet with you and your partner for a more thorough natural labor class. We will spend a few hours covering comfort measures, learning about interventions, going over the stages and phases of labor, along with providing birth plan support. In those last few weeks of expectation, I will be on call for you 24/7 until the day you deliver your sweet little one.
It is very important to me that my expecting mothers are educated in child birth and that they feel very confident in knowing what type of labor they want. I carry a small library of books and DVDs so that when I meet with you, you can choose a book or two to borrow that best meets your interest and concerns.
Our meetings during your prenatal appointments are a great time to build relationships. For this reason I love to listen and find out more about you. It is also very important that your partner and any others who plan to attend the birth, try to attend so that they can get to know me and we can have the best plan on how to meet your needs and make your birth experience satisfying and empowering!
