Join me, Doula Deb, on this empowering episode of The Birth & Baby Podcast, where we uncover the transformative benefits of prenatal classes and the critical importance of postpartum preparation. As an expectant or new parent, you deserve to embark on this journey feeling confident, informed, and supported. In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Childbirth Education: Gain essential knowledge about the stages of labor, pain management options, and effective birthing techniques. Learn why even those planning on an epidural should practice pain coping methods to ensure you’re ready for any scenario.
  • Feeding Support: Whether you plan to breastfeed or formula feed, get the insights and techniques you need to feel confident and prepared in nourishing your newborn. Our prenatal classes cover all aspects of feeding support, making those early days smoother for you and your baby.
  • Newborn Care: Master the basics of diapering, bathing, and soothing your little one. These skills are crucial for building your confidence and helping you feel like a pro from day one.

But it doesn’t stop there. I share a personal story about my own experience of not adequately preparing for the postpartum period and the overwhelming challenges that followed. This inspired me to create the ‘Preparing for Parenthood’ workbook and offer personalized consultations so you can easily avoid those pitfalls and navigate parenthood.

•Tailored postpartum plans to suit your family’s unique needs.
