Method
Everyone of us is unique; we all have our own desires and wishes. I will adjust the service I give to match what you need.
As the success of my work depends solely on your trust, it is important for us to explore whether we have a connection.
Therefore, we will start with an introductory meeting.
Pre-birth
If there is a match, we will start planning our pre-birth appointments. Some examples of topics we can cover during these appointments are:
- the different stages of birth
- exploring what type of birth appeals to you most
- comfort measures during labor
- your birth plan
- the needs of your partner
- previous experiences
- birth positions
- … etc.
Birth
As of 37weeks pregnancy I will be on call for you 24/7. I will be with you during the delivery from the moment you want me there and I will not leave until you are comfortable and confident with your newborn.
Post-birth
During the first week I will pay you a short visit just to see how you are doing and answer any questions you might have.
After 4-6 weeks we will plan a post-birth appointment during which we will talk about how you experienced the birth. Often I can help to fill in some memory gaps. This will be our last official meeting; after this my Doula service is completed.
