Labor Support

This begins when you want and where you
want.  Whether you call me to talk, come over
to your house or meet you at the hospital I will
be there.  This is a different decision for every
woman.  Some women want to labor as long as
possible at their home and others want to be
admitted and near a doctor to feel comfortable.
I would like a heads up when you THINK that
you are going into labor so I can get my things
in order, bag necessities, childcare and
general duties.  Even if you are not sure
Please call me.
We will discuss prior to labor how I can help you.  Some of things are as follows…
•        Discussing you labor wishes
•        Explanation of medical procedures
•        Trying to avoid unnecessary intervention
•        Taking pictures
•        Help the partner in supporting the mom
•        Being there so the partner can rest and feel assured that mom is being taken care of.
•        Massage and other non medical pain relief
•        Position changes and relaxation techniques
•        EMOTIONAL support
•        Anything that will make the mother feel better
