My Functional Childbirth Package
I know that the decision on who you will hire as your birth team is a very personal decision. I offer a free interview via telemedicine. Nutrition is important for the success of your pregnancy. Much of prenatal nutrition is focused on the growing fetus, and not on the ever changing mother and her body's ability to function properly. That is where my knowledge is different. I focus on the mother, her nutrition, and her body function. I believe that if the mother is healthy the baby will be healthy.
During my birth preparation appointments we discuss, in depth, the role nutrition plays in the function of the mother's body as specific and crucial times in pregnancy. My goal is to provide the mother with the information she needs to have a successful and functional childbirth.
I will guide you through each phase of pregnancy by providing individual and gestational nutrition advice, addressing symptoms and complications that can be corrected with nutrition, and provide necessary lab work and analysis throughout. My care does not take the place of your midwife or physicians care. I provide an adjunct to traditional care that focuses on nutrition and maternal function.
The following are included in the Functional Childbirth Package.
You want the tools to have a birth experience with as little intervention as possible. Nutrition is the key to increased maternal function.
