What can prenatal visits with your birth doula look like? Part 1

What can prenatal visits with your birth doula look like?

I typically provide two prenatal visits to client.

Visit One:

•Check in. Get an update on how expectant parents are feeling emotionally, mentally, physically. Understand how dr/midwife appts are going.

•Assist with creation of birth plan. Help them understand the potential of what decision they will need to make before, during, and after labor and birth.

•Share non-bias evidence based birth research around pain management, labor assistance/intervention, and routine newborn care procedures.

•Recommendations for childbirth education classes.

•Answer questions and help prepare questions to take to provider at next visit.

Your doula can be your go-to contact for all birth resources.
