Frequently asked questions

Do I have to pay extra if I’m in labor for a long time?

Absolutely not! Birth is unpredictable and every birth is different. You pay a flat rate no matter how long you’re in labor!

Does your support replace my partner?

I’m not there to replace anyone! If you have a partner at the birth with you, I am there to support you both. Not replace a partner.

What happens if my birthing staff is trying to convince me of an intervention that I don’t want?

I am not there to talk to the birthing staff FOR you. But I am there to take the choice and put it back in your hands. How that happens depends on the person and situation. It may be as simple as “The staff things that you should _____, is that something you’re interested in? Would you like some time alone with (support person) to think about it?” Or it may be more forward like “ok we hear that you think it’s important that mom does that. But I also heard mom say no and that she’s not interested in that right now. Can you tell mom a little bit more about why you think that’s what needs to happen? So she can think about it?”
