Building a positive expectancy
HypnoBirthing Advantages:
·Eliminate the fear-tension-pain
·Reduce, and often eliminate, the need for interventions
·Lessens fatigue, leaving the mother fresh, awake
·Shortens the thinning and opening phase of labor (Baby comes down rather than pushing for long, prevent pelvic floor damage)
·Brings the mother, the baby, and the birthing companion together through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

What is a Doula
A Birth Doula is a professional who is trained in childbirth and provides continuous emotional and physical supports to a mother and her family before, during and after birth.
​A Postpartum Doula cares for the mother and her family at hospital/home in the first weeks/months. Including breastfeeding support, infant care, light household chores and so on.
Birth/Postpartum Doula provides non-medical support, evidence based information and companionship.

Birth Doula Support
One Complimentary Prenatal Meeting (1 hour)

After our initial meeting, I will have 3 prenatal visits (2 hours each). This gives us a chance to get to know each other! 
​If you prefer, I will provide the information and techniques of Spinning Babies® to get ready for your birth physically and emotionally. Including a digital download of Parent Class:$26.99 and Daily Essentials:$16.99 and access to the Spinning Babies® materials. 

1st Visit: We will talk about your labor and postpartum desires, review the childbirth process. We will practice Spinning Babies® exercises and techniques.
2nd Visit: We will talk about just-in-case scenarios, such as water break, back labor, overdue, scheduled induction, unplanned cesarean, and so on. Making your 
birth preferences.
3rd Visit: We will talk about the best-case scenarios with practicing variety of comfort measures (Position, Massage, Breathing, Acupressure, TENS unit, Peanuts ball, etc.) . Continue to practice your body balance.
Breech Consultant: After 30 weeks, if your baby is breech or transverse, we'll have an additional visit and try breech exercises, and acupressure & Moxa, if you prefer. 

*I'll be on-call 2 weeks before and after your due date, and will get to meet you in 1.5 hour.

On THE BIG Day: whenever you feel you are in labor, please text/call me 24/7. I will provide information with encouragement at the early stage. When your contractions are close (about 7 minutes apart) and regular (for 1 hour or so), I will come over to your place/hospital and provide emotional, physical, and informational supports to your entire family. I will suggest when we should be going to the hospital or birth center. I will come with you and provide continuous supports during the labor physically and emotionally until you see your baby. I will support the initial breastfeeding and take basic pictures of the baby’s first moment. I will stay until you and your family are settled down (1~3 hours after baby is born). 

Postpartum Follow-up: I will come to visit you once again. I will support breastfeeding, newborn care, and so on about for 2 hours. If you have any questions, you can reach me over email/text and I will get back to you.
