Building your birth team isn’t extra… it’s essential.
Pregnancy isn’t meant to be navigated alone, and the right support can completely change how you experience birth and postpartum.
✨ Your care team matters:
• An OB provider (OB or midwife) you trust—who listens, explains your options, and never dismisses your concerns
• A doula to support you and your family (birth AND postpartum support both matter more than most people realize)
• A lactation consultant—because trying to figure out feeding at 2am, exhausted and overwhelmed, is not when you want to start Googling. I never realized until after my 1st, how beneficial a visit is BEFORE baby is here.
• A Webster-certified chiropractor to help your body and your pelvis as baby grows.
• An OB certified physical therapist (hi! 🙋🏼♀️) to prepare your pelvis, pelvic floor, and body for birth and recovery. I could talk for hours on why I should be part of your birth team. 😉
Here’s the thing:
We prepare nurseries, registries, and hospital bags… but forget to build the team that actually carries us through it.
You deserve providers who hear you.
You deserve support before you’re struggling.
You deserve to feel confident going into birth, not just hopeful.
Start building your team early. Your future self (and your postpartum self) will thank you!
If you’re local and don’t know where to start, I’m always happy to help you connect the dots. I make it a priority to connect with birth workers to have resources for my patients. 💜
