Be Prepared: Plan Ahead and Book Early

  1. Program your phone with the contact numbers and email addresses of both your primary and secondary doulas.

  2. Make sure you've completed your Intake Form in section two (previous menu item).

  3. Schedule your private lessons/sessions with your primary doula:

  4. Review our blog often for helpful articles regarding pregnancy and parenting.

  5. Consider the recommendations below and please read the educational emails you’ll soon receive in your inbox. The bulk of the emails will arrive around 34 weeks gestation.

  6. Prepare your Birth Preferences / Plan. Read our sample birth plans and draft your own so we can review it together at our Birthday Planning session. Please don't begin writing your plan until your childbirth class or Labor Lesson is complete.

  7. Review our recommended list of items to pack in your hospital labor bag. It is a good idea for you to own a birth ball (for home use), an essential oil for relaxation/aromatherapy, a string of Christmas lights, and a rice sock or heating pad for comfort.
