Expectant couples are always seeking out qualified information to help them make the best decisions for themselves and their children. Pregnancy is a great time to empower yourself with information to have your best birthing and parenting experience. It can be difficult to find good resources from reliable experts in their fields.
To assist expectant couples in their search for quality information, Well Born Baby has partnered with Belly Pilates on several free parenting workshops. We will provide you with evidence-based information on doula support, baby wearing, and cloth diapering so that you can make the choices right for you.
What is a Doula & How Can they Help Me Have the Birth I Want?
Join the doulas of Well Born Baby to learn about the benefits of birth and postpartum doula services. Includes an overview of what doulas do, the benefits of doula services, and how to find the right doula for you. The doulas from Well Born Baby will lead this informational session that will answer all your questions about how a doula assists in a birth with physical and emotional comfort measures and during the postpartum period. They will discuss how a doula can enrich your experience during any kind of birth: natural, hospital, epidural-assisted, or VBAC.
There will be time to interact with the doulas one-on-one and, perhaps, find the perfect doula to assist you with your birth experience.
