*During our prenatal visits, we will go over how your pregnancy is going, your thoughts about the birth, any questions or concerns you or your partner are having, as well as creating a birth plan that will help us see how we can work best together.
**At our post partum visit, I would love to hear how you are doing, listen to your birth story, give any breastfeeding support, bring your birth pictures to you, as well as get any feedback from you about my role as your doula.
Are you available to assist with birth in a hospital setting? I love my OBGYN and I want her to deliver our baby. She only delivers to babies born at Legacy Hospital in Vancouver. Do you accept payments for the $400 fee? I would like to talk more with you about everything. Please email back. Thanks!
