Birth Plan Consultation
Are you confused about your birth options?
- Are you feeling unprepared for your upcoming birth?
- Have you read the books and taken the classes but still feel like you need more information?
- Do you need personalized guidance and tips for how to rock YOUR birth?
A birth plan consult is perfect if you want an experienced doula to guide you through your choices whether you're birthing in a hospital, birth centre or at home. This is the best way to prepare for the realities of labour, birth and welcoming a new baby.
We want you to feel confident in your ability to handle the flow of your labour and birth. We’ll prepare you for different scenarios you might encounter and provide you with the resources to make the choice that’s right for you. We can help you with techniques for coping with pain, give you tips on how to have a natural birth and how to decide when or if the epidural is right for you. If you want to know what you’ll be “allowed” to do at your hospital or birthing centre, we’ll discuss the protocols and interventions that may arise.

How will a birth consultation help you prepare?
Do you feel like you have so many plans for how you want your birth to go, but you have no idea how to make it happen? We hear you! We know that there is no way to guarantee how your birth will go, but you can still prepare and know your options. We’ll help you figure out how to make your plans a reality.
Together we will sit down in the comfort of your home to discuss what you imagine your ideal birth to be. We can discuss your ideas and your hopes and make a plan for how these ideas could be possible. Using our experience, we’ll help you make a plan to navigate through the sometimes overwhelming and confusing medical system. You don’t need to write a birth plan set in stone and you don’t even need to make any choices right away. Being clear and prepared will make you feel more confident than you thought was possible. You’ll know what to expect and you and your partner can be ready for the big day. Welcoming your baby will be the focus, and you’ll know that no matter what curveballs might be thrown at you, you’ll meet them with confidence and knowledge.
