Let’s Get Started!

 

 

Pregnancy should be exciting, not confusing and stressful, right?

First of all, congratulations and welcome to club! We don’t serve wine but we have lots of snacks and tons of pregnancy advice for you.

The excitement and nervousness and all those other feelings you have- totally normal.

If you’re in the first trimester you might be feeling a bit lost. Maybe your doctor’s appointments aren’t offering as much information or support as you’d hoped and the internet is an abyss of too much information. The second and third trimester can start flying by and suddenly you’re not as ready as you thought for giving birth and bringing your new baby home…

It’s never too early or too late in your pregnancy to get ready for what’s ahead. We can guide you through it all, no matter what option you choose, an experienced doula from our team will know exactly what you need.

Now, relax and breathe out. (This practice will come in handy for the birth.)

We can help.

First Trimester Pregnancy Support

Just found out you’re pregnant? Yay! Now what? How do you find a doctor in Montreal when you’re pregnant? What hospital should you give birth at? What symptoms are common in the first trimester and how do you know if everything is going well?

We’ll go over your options so you have a clear idea of what’s available. Get all your early pregnancy questions answered and find out what steps you need to take to start your pregnancy off in the right direction.

Birth Preparation Session

Our birth preparation session is ideal for couples who want to become a solid team, completely prepared for birth. You and your partner will learn how to communicate with the medical staff and with each other to have the best possible experience. You’ll learn hands-on techniques for coping with pain, including positioning and massage. Partners will discover what to expect as the primary support person, and we’ll give both of you all our doula tips and tricks so you’re fully prepared for your birth experience. Ideal for those who don’t plan to have a doula with them for their birth!

Feeding Your Baby: Bottle, Breast, and Pump

In the first year you’ll feed your baby thousands of times! It’s no wonder it’s the most common topic we are asked about. In this session you’ll learn how to breastfeed your baby, to identify if they are eating well, to ensure you have a good milk supply, and to know what to do if things don’t go according to plan. We discuss supplementing with formula if needed, how to use a breast pump effectively and avoid the “booby traps” that might keep you from successfully getting through the first few weeks. 

Postpartum Planning Session

Feeling like you haven’t really started to think about what happens when you bring your baby home? Our postpartum planning session is a deep dive into the world with your new baby. This 2 hour session with a postpartum doula will guide you through each step of what to expect from your first hours home, to figuring out where the baby will sleep, through babyproofing your home and your relationship as well as understanding how to handle the changes to your new life.

Have something specific to ask us?

If you have any questions before booking, we’d love to hear from you! Send us a message and we can discuss the details. We’ll chat all things pregnancy and birth and help you come up with the best plan.
