What to expect as a birth client?

For my birth clients, I require an initial meeting to discuss your preferences, what you're looking for in a doula and any questions you may have. Following this, I suggest scheduling at least two additional meetings prior to the birth.

In our first follow-up meeting, we will address any questions or concerns you may have, review your medical and pregnancy history, and discuss your lifestyle. The second meeting will focus on developing your birth plan, exploring coping techniques, discussing available options, answering your questions and providing necessary resources.

After the 38-week mark, I will be on call for you. Following delivery, you will receive two hours of post-birth care and one postpartum visit within the first week. During this visit, we will take the time to discuss your feelings and how everyone is adjusting. I am here to support you, whether that means holding your baby while you take a well-deserved nap, shower or simply being a listening ear. Your well-being is my priority and I am here to assist you in any way you need.

What to Expect from General Postpartum Care

In our postpartum care, you can expect the following support:

Basic Newborn Care: Assistance with newborn needs to help ease your transition.
Feeding Support: Guidance with breastfeeding or bottle feeding to ensure a smooth experience.
Postpartum Recovery for Mom: Support tailored to your recovery needs.
Light Housework: Help with newborn laundry, preparing bottles, and restocking the nursery and your bedside if breastfeeding.

If you require overnight care, I can assist by feeding the baby or bringing the baby to you for nursing. Additionally, I will handle burping, changing, soothing, and putting the baby back to sleep. My goal is to help you feel well-rested and confident, equipping you with the knowledge and support you need to embrace each day ahead.
