Prenatal Care
We will meet at least twice during your pregnancy, typically at 30 and 36 weeks. These meetings give us an opportunity to get to know each other better.
We will discuss your birth preferences, what your coping styles might be and techniques that accommodate those styles, as well as how to prepare for the postpartum period.
