Two 2-hour Prenatal Sessions
Great news, you decided to hire me as your birth doula! After we review my contract and your deposit is in, it’s time for me to deepen my understanding of your needs and desires so that I can best support you. In the months and weeks leading up to your birth, we will meet two times to check in on how pregnancy is feeling for you , develop your ideal birth plan, go over things you might experience during labor, and start practicing movement and positioning techniques that will support your birth.
Attendance At Your Birth
It’s happening!!! You are in labor!!! If and when you think your body has begun preparing to meet your baby, give me a call. I give clients a two-hour window between when they call and when I will be able to arrive at their location. My ringer will be on for you 24/7 starting two weeks before you are due to give birth, and will stay that way until you meet your baby. Once I’m with you, I support you during and between contractions, work with the care team to understand how the baby’s positioning might be impacting your labor, and keep you fed, hydrated, and grounded. I am there for you until you meet your baby, and will gently exit between 1-3 hours post-birth.
Two 2-hour Postpartum Sessions
You gave birth! Congratulations! Between 1 and 5 days post-birth, I will come for a visit and use the time to be supportive of your current needs. Some options include: doing your dishes, preparing your favorite recipe to have stored in the freezer, talking through your birth and how it felt for you, answering questions you have, holding your baby while you nap, or developing a plan of support for the coming weeks/months. We will schedule a second postpartum visit, after which my time supporting you will be complete.
