Have you taken a newborn basics class and left with so many questions? A prenatal meeting will fix that! What is a prenatal meeting? It’s a 2-3 hour conversation where I give you tons of info about what to expect in the hospital and the first few weeks at home.

What do you cover?

  • We cover everything you need to prepare for the hospital and at home. This can include a baby registry, hospital bag, birth preferences, and more.

  • For birth and supporting parents or caregivers, we cover how you’ll feel postpartum, physically and emotionally. We go over normal physical symptoms and what you need to heal. We discuss perinatal mental health signs and how to create a support system.

  • For babies, we talk about normal newborn behavior. You’ll learn about normal baby sleep and healthy sleep habits. We go over feeding preferences, and how to set up routines for your feeding preference.

  • And I answer any questions you have or refer you to amazing people who can answer your questions.

What makes a prenatal meeting different?

  • I give you realistic, evidence-based information that goes way beyond how to bathe a baby or change a diaper.

  • It’s judgement-free! I’m not here to tell you the right way to do things. Instead, I help you find the right approach for you.

  • I’m a teacher, so I have TONS of simple, clear handouts that you can use.

Interested in setting up a prenatal meeting in person or virtually? Or DM me with any questions!

Hi there! I’m Gigi and am a postpartum doula in Orange County + beyond. I have three kiddos (including twins) and a high-school sweetheart-turned-husband. I’ve always been a teacher but realized I was meant to teach parents and help them through the fourth trimester. I love forcing my friends and family to listen to me talk about zero waste, reading YA novels, and watching terrible reality shows.

Want to chat (especially about Taylor Swift or DIY cleaning products or babies?) Connect with me through e-mail or on Instagram!
