Labor Support Package $950

Includes:

• Three prenatal visits:

  • Meeting One: We will get better acquainted and review your intake forms. I will spend time learning more about you, your family, and your birth goals and preferences. I will also give tips on preparing your body and mind for labor and give you resources to begin thinking about your birth plan. (Scheduled for as early as you would like after signing contract) 

  • Meeting Two: We will discuss the stages of labor and explore tips and comfort measures for each stage. We will discuss possible interventions as well as c-section support. We will also review ways that your partner and I can best support you in labor. (Usually around 24 weeks.) 

  • Meeting Three: We will review your birth plan/preferences, review tools for labor, practice advocacy, discuss infant care preferences, go over last weeks of pregnancy prep, as well as your postpartum plan. (Usually around 32-34 weeks and preferably no later than 36 weeks. Your doctor will likely want to discuss your birth plan by 36 weeks)

*Each meeting will last approximately 1.5 hours.
