We will discuss all the options for relaxation and labor coping techniques you may desire. I will provide educational resources about your options to help you make decisions regarding your prenatal and birth care with the team that you choose. You will have access to my lending library of pregnancy and birth books and DVDs. I will be on call for your birth from 38 weeks until you give birth. I will be available to you by phone or email throughout your pregnancy and first month postpartum. After your birth I will stay with you for 1-3 hours to help you get settled, bonding, and breastfeeding. I will visit you in your home within the first month after your birth for postpartum visits. During this time I will check how you and baby are doing, help you navigate feeding and sleeping, assist in household chores (laundry, dishes, vacuuming, etc.), assist you in processing and discussing your birth and how you feel about it, answer questions, provide resources and referrals for your postpartum needs, and assist with breastfeeding.
