Pregnancy planning and support from a doula is an essential aspect of prenatal care that many expectant parents choose to incorporate into their journey towards parenthood. While the presence of a doula during labor and delivery is highly valued by many families, there may be circumstances where in-person support on the day of birth is not possible or desired. In such cases, alternative forms of support can still be provided by doulas to ensure that expectant parents feel prepared, empowered, and supported throughout their pregnancy and beyond.
Pregnancy planning is an important phase for expectant parents as it involves making informed decisions about various aspects of pregnancy and childbirth. This includes choosing healthcare providers, deciding on birthing preferences, creating a birth plan, and understanding the physical and emotional changes that occur during pregnancy. Doulas play a crucial role in this process by offering evidence-based information, answering questions, and providing guidance to help expectant parents make informed choices that align with their values and preferences.
Our childbirth, lactation & postpartum planning classes are included in both pregnancy only support and in-person packages.
