“Birth Basics”

This two-day intensive is taught in the comfort of your own home in person or virtually. The intimate nature of private lessons fosters a sense of comfortability and allows us to explore the topics as they relate to your unique needs and preferences.

Topics covered: Pregnancy Experiences (Changes, Discomforts, Providers, and Care Settings), Self Advocacy (During Pregnancy, Labor, Birth, and Postpartum), Labor (What to expect, Progression, Comfort Measures), Medical Support in Birth (Inductions, Technology and Interventions, Complications), Postpartum (Experiences, Planning, and Infant Care).

This curriculum has been adapted from materials created by Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings.
