Let's talk about healthcare providers!

Both OBs and Midwives are great options for delivering your baby. But before choosing your healthcare provider, ask some key questions...

1. Where do I want to deliver?
2. Am I leaning towards a medicated or unmedicated birth?
3. Do I have a pre-existing health condition that labels me as high-risk?
4. Do I want to prevent a C-Section or am I indifferent?

All the prep advice I’ve seen discussing what to pack for the hospital, normally covers mom’s needs and maybe baby’s needs. What about dad or whomever comes along to support mom through labor? Labor support is right next to mom, helping her through, often for many, many hours at a time. When preparing bags to take to the hospital, don’t forget items your birth partner might need over the course of a 24 hour or longer timeframe.

As you step into the beautiful journey of motherhood, embracing your well-being becomes more important than ever. Prenatal massage offers a serene escape, beneficial for you and your growing baby. This gentle practice provides stress relief, soothing away anxieties to leave you relaxed and rejuvenated. It’s not just about easing the mind; prenatal massage also addresses physical discomforts. It enhances circulation and lymphatic drainage, helping to reduce the swelling often seen in ankles and feet during pregnancy. As your body changes, the growing belly can strain your back. Here, prenatal massage plays a crucial role, targeting these areas for relief and comfort. Beyond the physical benefits, there’s a quieter, yet profound aspect to prenatal massage. It offers a moment of peaceful bonding with your unborn child, strengthening an emotional connection that begins in the womb. When considering prenatal massage, it’s vital to seek a certified therapist trained in the specific needs of expectant mothers. And, as always, consulting with your healthcare provider is a key step before starting any new regimen during pregnancy. This journey towards motherhood, supported by the gentle care of prenatal massage, paves the way for a happy, healthy pregnancy.

Everyone talks about a mother's birth plan and how during pregnancy you need to hash out what your birth should look like. What often goes overlooked is the baby's birth plan. Be sure to figure out what you'd like for your baby's treatment to be like so the birth workers around you can be prepared.

ACOG (the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology) has a sample birth plan on their website. While it is a good starting point, they definitely leave out a lot of important items to consider. As a doula, part of my job is to make sure you are as informed as possible before you go in for your birth. A good birth plan is part of that prep work.

A birth plan is a written outline of what you would like to happen during labor and delivery. A birth plan is a great starting point, but you should be prepared for changes.

The postpartum period is a time when you should be tucked in with your newborn at home getting to know each other. While most people might plan out postpartum meals and time off of work, an area that can easily be overlooked is your pet’s care. Taking time in the final months of pregnancy to catch up on your pet’s grooming and vet appointments means less stress after birth for both you and your spouse.
