If you've given birth in the last 3 years, Region 9 wants to hear from you about your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences!

Join us, Region 9, as we partner with MDHHS to center the voices of mothers and birthing people in our region. This community listening session is an opportunity to learn how pregnant and postpartum individuals are supported before, during, and after pregnancy. Your voices are vital in helping us understand gaps in care and strengthen support within your community. This event will be hosted in Adrian, Michigan , however, we invite all Region 9 counties to register!

Did you know our lactation consultants can support you throughout your baby's first full year and beyond? IBCLCs Jessica and Veronica help with prenatal education and the newborn stage of getting breastfeeding established, PLUS every stage beyond that as well, whenever challenges come up or ideas are needed!

They also offer ""milestone consults"" to prepare for new phases of the feeding journey, like returning to work, starting solid foods, weaning (whenever that's right for you), breastfeeding beyond a year, or plans you might have like travel or a healthcare procedure.

They support all feeding choices as well, so whether you are breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping, using milk, formula, donor milk, or any combo of these, you can reach out for compassionate, evidence-based, customized support. We're with you for the whole journey, start to end, whatever that looks like for you. Learn more at annarborbirth.com.

Our Story

Ann Arbor Birth & Family provides compassionate and professional birth and postpartum doula services, counseling, and classes to expectant and new parents in the greater Ann Arbor and metro Detroit areas.

Formerly Ann Arbor Family Doulas, our doulas have served over 250 families in the Ann Arbor area since 2015. We are grateful for each and every opportunity we’ve had to support our wonderful clients through some of the most vulnerable and important moments of their lives.

Our clients receive the benefits of working with some of the most extensively trained and most experienced perinatal support professionals in the area and enjoy the confidence of knowing that expert support is always just a phone call away.

We are honored to provide on-call labor support in the birthplace of your choice, and are available for postpartum care day or night, depending on your needs and preferences. The right support makes all the difference!
