The birth doula package includes a couple of things, depending on what time we decide to work together during your pregnancy this package includes prenatal visits once a month around 60-90 minutes each leading up to your birth. If we decide to work together farther along in your pregnancy there will be a minimum of 3 prenatal meetings. The birth doula package includes, support during pregnancy, being on call from 38 weeks to 42 weeks, support during later times of early labor and up until birth, presence and support for 1-2 hours after the birth, 1-2 postpartum visits, and even accompanying you to doctor appointments if you feel a need. As well as this support I will be available through text, call, and/or email, continuously through out your pregnancy. With all the crazy new times and learning how to navigate COVID guidelines, be prepared that different facilities may have different rules, and I may not be able to accompany you in person to your birth. However I will be available over phone, zoom, or FaceTime, whatever works best for you. I promise to do everything in my power to prepare you and your partner for birth and feel you have the necessary skills and knowledge to have a positive experience. If you would like to know more but are unsure if you willing to fully commit yet, I offer a free 40 minute meeting for you to ask question and learn more! (See website for more in depth details)
