Prenatal Care
There are many reasons why you may need a little extra support, and care during your pregnancy. Many of our doulas have additional training to help you through challenging times like bed rest, hospitalizations, particularly difficult pregnancies, and more. We can help take care of Mom, so Mom can concentrate on resting.
We take care of YOU, so you can take care of baby.
If your provider has “put you on bed rest”, you might be feeling a little anxious. You are likely running through your list of things that still need to be done before your baby arrives, you may be worried about care for your older child, and of course you are concerned about that little one inside of you. It can be hard for you to rest when the world keeps moving. We can help with this time of uneasiness!
Bed Rest. Difficult Pregnancy. Support When You Want It.
Just like the care you have come to know from The Baby Mavens, prenatal care is not one size fits all. We recognize that every woman is different, every pregnancy is different, and every family has distinct needs. With our exceptional team of birth and postpartum doulas who are trained to assist in different ways, we can provide you with experienced prenatal care: from emotional support during a hospitalization, to organizational help at home, to coordinating care for older children. We can be your village during a tough time.
