Antenatal visits
Antenatal visits are beneficial to enable the clients and myself to build a rapport and therefore the client will feel more comfortable with my presence in their birth space. We can work through any fears you may have. I can offer information and support regarding common pregnancy issues.
In these visits I start preparing a document for your birth preferences, commonly known as a 'birth plan'. I assist you by working through your choices, options and preferences for your birth. We discuss pain management needs, active labour, third stage, and any emergency preferences that may arise also. I make a copy of this document for you to keep, and I keep a copy also which I bring with me when I come to support you in labour.
For women who do choose Elective Cesarean, I can meet you before you go to have your baby and immediately after while you are in recovery, or I can come in with you if you choose to have me present.
Immediate Postnatal/Breastfeeding support
In the immediate hours after birth, I can assist you with skin-to-skin contact between you and baby, and ensuring your baby is attaching to the breast (if you plan to breastfeed). I can help guide you with your newborn. I stay until you are feeling comfortable and confident, and ready for some quiet time together.
Postnatal visits
I come to visit you I the comfort of your own home to debrief your birth experience, and also to provide any assistance you may need with breastfeeding guidance and support, or information regarding caring for your new baby you may require.
I can offer general baby care hints and tips, as well as information on other feeding methods, settling, bathing baby etc. I can refer you to additional community resources if necessary.
Deposit

The balance of your chosen package is due in full by your 37th week of pregnancy.
