BIRTH & BABY CARE CONSULTATION
1 hour, $75
The term "birth plan" gets a bad rep, and true enough, there is no real way to lay out a "plan" for birth.
BUT, conversations surrounding your preferences for you and your baby's care is always important. You will leave this consultation with a better understanding of what your options are AND a printable PDF tailor-made to your preferences to share with your care team.
Together we will:
-
talk about care options for you & your baby

discuss evidence-based research in order to make your best informed decision

complete a questionnaire to create a birth & infant care plan sheet to share with your birth team

talk together about how to advocate for your wishes & navigate any choices presented to you
​
*Printable Birth & Infant Care Plan formatted to your preferences included.
