Home Visits
Birth Prep and Education
Service Description
Part of my birth doula package comes with at least two home visits during your pregnancy, each being two hour long. During these visits is where we really get into the sweet details of the beauty of birth and crafting your perfect birth plan. We will also discuss the physical process of birth, so that you are fully educated and empowered. Our time together in these meetings is so sweet and intimate as we talk through your vision for your birth. I highly suggest that your partner be fully present for every home visit as we cover a lot of vital information. The first meeting usually happens between 24-30 weeks gestation. This is the time I usually talk about the physiology of labor and what happens during each stage of labor. I go through what sensations you might feel in each stage and what your baby might be doing as they travel through your pelvis. Once you have a good base understanding of what is happening in your body, then we usually move on the your birth plan. I have a list of questions we'll walk through to craft your birth plan, then afterwards I will create your unique plan for you to review. The second meeting gets into the applicable details of birth. This meeting usually happens between 30-36 weeks gestation. We usually talk about comfort measures and breathing techniques for each stage of labor. It's so important to be prepared as labor shifts, and I'm here with you to navigate every stage as it comes. I'll also teach your partner how he can be your biggest cheerleader and strongest supporter during labor.
