HSW B.E.S.T Services
I provide support via phone, text, video, and email about any concerns that you may have about your pregnancy and upcoming birth. We will have 2-4 prenatal appointments (in person or virtual), I will attend your birth, and we will also meet for up to four postpartum visits.
· At the prenatal appointments, there will be several things to discuss in areas such as birth wishes/planning, resources, comfort measures, support planning, and much more. We will also discuss procedures for contacting me at the onset of your labor.
· Based on the information that I gather about you from your intake questionnaire, I may offer resources and information for you to review in between appointments.
· When you believe you are in your labor, you will call me and I will meet you within 45-60 minutes from the time you request my presence either at your home, the birth center, or hospital.
· In the case of virtual doula services, I will guide you through your labor process at home before going to the hospital or birth center. I will also remain with you virtually once you arrive there and during your birth.
· I will remain with you throughout your labor and up to two hours after the birth, or until mom and baby is safe and stable. If desired, I can assist you with initiating breastfeeding.
· Within the first two weeks postpartum, we will schedule our final appointments to follow up with you and your new baby, discuss your birth experience, and answer any additional questions you may have.
