I provide support via email, text, and phone, addressing any concerns you may have about your pregnancy and upcoming birth. We will have two prenatal visits, I will attend your birth, and we will meet for one postpartum visit. I would be happy to accompany you to one of your prenatal visits with your primary care provider if you wish. At these meetings we will accomplish the following:

• At the first prenatal visit, I will gather information about you and your concerns about and preferences for your birth. We will also discuss procedures for contacting me at the onset of your labor. Based on a questionnaire you complete prior to our visit, I will offer you some resources for you to review prior to our next visit.
• During the last four weeks of your pregnancy, we will meet to discuss your birth plan, practice comfort measures and ways your partner can support you during labor, and answer your questions.
• When you believe you are in your labor, you will call me and I will plan to meet you 2-3 hours from the time you request my presence either at your home, the birth center or hospital.
• I will remain with you throughout your labor and up to two hours after the birth. If desired, I can assist you with initiating breastfeeding.
• Within the first two weeks postpartum, we will schedule our final visit to discuss your birth experience, any questions you may have, and visit with you and your baby.

• Two prenatal visits to assess your needs and desires for birth, define and understand our expectations of one another, and provide you with useful tools for labor and birth
