Our first prenatal meeting is scheduled once you've finished your childbirth education classes. This meeting gives us an opportunity to get to know each other and for me to understand your wishes, desires and plans for your baby's birth. It also allows me to find out what resources you may need, whether it's a good massage therapist or breastfeeding DVDs, so I can provide those referrals and resources for you. This meeting typically lasts 1 1/2 hours.
Here's a sample of the client intake form I use during our prental meetings, and what I share with my back-up partners so they also understand your preferences and plans for your baby's birth.
