Birth Planning Consultations
A birth plan is a valuable tool that outlines your preferences for labor, delivery, and postpartum care. It helps you communicate with your healthcare team about your wishes and expectations, making sure everyone is on the same page.
What is a birth planning consultation?
The most important part of creating a birth plan is learning about your options so you can make informed decisions about them. It's been said that if you don’t know your options, you don’t have any! Unfortunately, births don’t always go as planned. Being knowledgeable about all your options will also come in handy if you are faced with having to make unexpected changes to your plan.
Planning for childbirth can feel overwhelming, but expert help is available to guide you through creating a birth plan tailored to your preferences and needs. Birth planning support is included with doula services , but we also offer birth planning consultations separately. It’s perfect for someone that doesn’t have a doula or isn’t sure if hiring a doula is right for them.
