NEW BLOG POST! ✨

Walking people through their birth plans is one of my favorite parts of the job. With a birth plan, you say I know my options, I have prepared, I have opinions, and I may not want the default care.


Some people roll their eyes at the idea of a birth plan. Certainly, birth is unpredictable and there are areas we may need to adjust or be flexible. Yes, the whole plan may go out the window. We still make a financial plan even though recessions happen. We make college plans even though you may discover a new passion. I find that most parents today don’t need these reminders (if anything, we are more jaded and fearful than ever). They need the support and encouragement to expect more from their care, their providers, and their births.
