Labor Doula Consultation
Consultations are done virtually via Zoom. Typically, consultations last one hour, depending on topics covered.
Reasons you may consider a consultation:
- Questions about what to expect from labor
- Learn birth options for hospital, home or birth center
- Receive information and support for partner to assist with labor and birth
- Assistance in creating a birth plan
- Help sorting birth myths from facts
- Getting resources for specific challenges you are facing
- Having difficulty communicating with doctor or midwife; get insight and support
- End of pregnancy and want ideas for getting labor going naturally
- Trying to decide whether a certain procedure is a good choice for you, or if there are alternatives
- Someone to go over your plans with you and make sure you have considered all your options
- Knowing that you need to get prepared for labor, but not sure where to start!
Once you sign up for your Labor Doula consultation:
- We will contact you by phone or email within 1 business day to schedule your appointment.
- You will receive intake forms via email to fill out and return to us. This will help us better prepare for our time together.
- During your appointment, you will work with us to clarify your goals, answer questions, and provide resources.
- You will leave our meeting with clear action steps for what comes next in reaching your goals.
- Follow-up appointments vary according to each individual client’s needs. For some, one appointment to ask questions and clarify goals is all they need! Some clients desire regular follow-up appointments. This is your support on your terms!
If you have any questions, feel free to email us before signing up for an appointment. We are here to help!
