Physical, emotional, and informational support to women and their partners during labor and birth.
Unlimited visits, phone consultations. Also, I will attend doctor appointments and CBE classes when I'm available.
Assistance to families in gathering information about the course of their labor and their options along with help writing a birth plan to convey your wishes to the birth team.
Assistance to partners who want to play an active support role so the woman has a safe and satisfying childbirth as the woman defines it.
Lactation education on basic breastfeeding anatomy and physiology, tips & techniqes, breastfeeding friendly environments, overcoming challenges and resources available for breastfeeding mothers.
Not professional portraits, just a few snapshots of the birth (when the opportunity arises) with a point & shoot digital camera. Photos can be published online for a few days to share with family & friends.
Followup meeting with the new mother to discuss the birth and visit with the new family (and maybe to deliver your bellycast.)
"Your support and your knowledge was so amazing. You made the whole experience so much easier and a lot less scarey."
