Postpartum Planning & Education
Don’t get prepared for your birth & then just expect to wing it postpartum.
Most new parents who do little to no preparation for the postpartum period end up feeling blindsided. Caring for your baby is always a given, but it is pertinent for you to have the tools already in place so that your needs will be addressed.
Developing a plan of action for the early weeks will set you and your partner up for success. This way you will get the support you deserve geared towards your specific situation (with or without a doula present) so that you can rest/ recover easier, and soak up all those newborn snuggles.
Book a 1 on 1 Postpartum planning call with me so that you are prepared for life after birth.
