There are so many things to think about before baby comes… My personalized Birth Planning Consults can help you make sure nothing falls through the cracks! Some of the things we cover:
- A detailed Birth Preferences Sheet to help you decide in advance your desires before labor, during, interventions you may or may not want, after birth, etc. I can also take this time to explain any potential interventions or procedures and provide resources so you can make an informed decision.
- Different positions to help with pain relief, early labor, active labor, and pushing.
- Options and ideas for ways your partner can best support you during your labor.
- Birth Affirmations and how to address your own specific fears related to childbirth.
- Postpartum planning – this is simply a brainstorming session to help you plan for postpartum. We will cover freezer meals and meal trains, sibling and animal care (if applicable), cleaning, visitors, personal and baby care, breastfeeding, and the postpartum healing process.
