- Birth Plan Counseling
Birth plan counseling is designed to help moms and couples to understand their options throughout the birth process and to learn to advocate for their wishes with the birth team.
- Lactation Support
Breastfeeding, while a natural extension of the mother/baby relationship, can be a real challenge. Sessions can focus on early breastfeeding establishment, proper latching, pumping, ensuring adequate milk supply, and getting into a feeding rhythm what your newborn.
- Birth Tub Rental
A birth pool, or birth tub, can be a wonderful coping tool throughout labor. A vital tool for home birth, a birth pool can also help you labor at home until active labor even if you plan a hospital birth.
