PRENATAL COUNSELING FOR BIRTH PREPARATION
3 to 4 sessions
"Thank you so much for talking with me, you were so level
headed at a time when a big decision was in front of me,
and it gave me the opportunity to organize my thoughts."
–Alexis Manning
As you await the arrival of your baby you may be filled
with diverse feelings from joyful anticipation to fearful
concerns. Prenatal counseling work assists you to identify
your strengths and resolve concerns regarding the birth of
your baby and your new life.
Medical research shows how unresolved fears and anxiety can
disrupt the smooth flow of labor, slowing it down and
making it more painful. Discussing your concerns in the
positive context of prenatal counseling can free you to
move towards birth with increased confidence and
relaxation.
| Prenatal Counseling Can Help You: |
• Deepen prenatal bonding
• Overcome anticipatory fears of labor, birth and parenting
• Reduce stress that can negatively impact labor and birth
• Find your own individual style for coping with labor pain
