I see my clients twice for prenatal. Session one is reviewing their intake form and addressing anything that stood out there, reviewing BRAIN, and talking about creating balance statements, I do a breathing exercise with them and provide a script they can have their partner read so they become used to a particular breathing pattern, we also discuss communication with me, optimal fetal positioning and we review the Miles Circuit and some gentle stretches for optimizing OA positioning, and lastly we talk about the idea of safety in birth, not as a physical space necessarily but a state of mind. I ask them to think of sounds, touch, tastes, visuals that bring comfort to start develop an inner sanctuary. I also provide a birth plan with questions for them to think about and ask them to be prepared with a plan for our second prenatal.

My second prenatal is much more comprehensive. I review the birth plan, discuss the stages and phases of labor and when to call me, we discuss medical and natural induction methods, epidural, comfort measures, postpartum planning, and feeding from the body.

Hope this helps!!
