We are excited to announce that each doula client will be invited to our virtual group prenatals!
First up, we are adding group prenatal appointments!
Our goal of these prenatal appointments is to supplement the information you are receiving in the your childbirth education classes and private prenatal appointments with your doulas, while also building your community.
These group prenatal appointments will be for clients only, and centered around building community, both with one another and in the Triangle as a whole.
All group prenatals will be held virtually to allow for the most amount of clients to be able to attend. Furthermore, all prenatals will be recorded and sent out to everyone registered. So if you cannot make it, you can still get the information presented.
Topics for Group Prenatals
Understanding Informed Consent: Your doula will talk about this as well, but during this prenatal we will talk through the steps of informed consent in the medical setting to help you learn to advocate for yourself.
Understanding Your Car Seat: Join our carseat technician to help you learn about the various carseats and important considerations when choose the best seat for your family.
Prepping the Rest of Your Family for a New Baby (Dogs, Siblings, and more): Usually birthing folks and partners are on the same page when it comes to birth, however, there are usually more people involved in a family! We will be giving helpful tips for those other family members. Supportive parents, not as supportive aunts and uncles, dogs and cats, older siblings, and everything in between!
Physical Recovery from Birth: Birth is a marathon, and whether sprint it or walk it, it is still hard and needs recovery. During this prenatal, we will help you prepare for the physical demands of birth, but then also the physical demands post birth.
Emotional Recovery from Birth: With birth being such a powerful event, many emotions will be brought up, and that is completely normal. We will talk about how to prepare for birth emotional, while also preparing for parenthood emotionally. It is of course challenging to know what emotional needs you may need post birth, but we can start the conversation now.
How to Sign Up
When you fill our initial intake, you will see a place to sign up for the group prenatals that you are interested in attending. The day prior to the appointment, you will get a reminder email if you signed for that months group prenatal. Lastly, we will make private events on our Facebook page for these events and bring them to the attention of the group members as a way to remind everyone!
You are always welcome!
Even though these are prenatals, you are still welcome postpartum! With lived experience, your voice will be extremely valued in the virtual setting, and maybe we can sneak of peek of your sweet baby.
