Pregnancy & Birth Support

Melbourne Doula - Stephanie NorquayHaving consistent support from someone known and experienced throughout your pregnancy and labour can make all the difference to how it unfolds and to how you feel about the experience afterwards… I encourage you to call me to discuss your individual needs.

Pregnancy & Birth Support Package

Initial Consultation

An opportunity for us to meet, ask questions, and make sure we are the ‘right fit’. This initial face to face meeting is free of charge.

Pre-Natal

Up to 4 Prenatal sessions – These sessions allow us to get to know each other better, clarify what your support needs are and address any other issues or concerns; create a Birth Plan; and develop a relationship of comfort and trust.

(Pre and post natal visits usually run for approximately 2 – 2.5 hours, and generally take place in your own home for your convenience.)

Birth

On-call birth support (from 38 weeks), and attendance throughout your labour and birth. I stay with you until your baby is born and you are feeling settled afterwards.

Post-Natal

Up to 3 Postnatal visits – To debrief the birth experience, work through any questions or concerns you may have; Link you in with extra resources and supports where appropriate. I can also offer a brief introduction to massaging your baby with some tips for settling and reading your baby’s cues.

Resources

Ongoing phone and email support as needed throughout your pregnancy, and during the postnatal period.
Access to my client resource library of books, DVDs and reading material.

* I always endeavour to keep parking fees to a minimum… However when I am supporting a hospital birth, reimbursement of the total parking costs is required.

* If you feel that my services would really benefit you, but you are working within a very tight budget, contact me to talk about your options. Payment plans are available by negotiation if necessary.
