| Birth Mentor Support |
Blossoming Bellies recognizes the importance of support throughout the entire childbearing year or may not be able to afford the full cost of an on-call birth doula. The Birth Mentor Support Service allows women and their partners to take full advantage of the knowledge, skills, and emotional support that a doula offers, without the doula's presence at their birth. Birth Mentor Support includes:
Private in-home prenatal visits provide discussion of the normal labor process, hands-on practice with comfort measures and relaxation techniques for labor, and the development of a birth plan for use during labor, birth, and the immediate postpartum. Unlimited telephone and email support enables clients to contact Brittany with questions, concerns, or a need for suggestions at any point throughout pregnancy, labor, or birth. The in-home postpartum visit assists families in their transition into parenting with hands-on breastfeeding support and guidance in basic newborn care. Further postpartum support is offered through Blossoming Bellies' free New and Expectant Parents Support Group which meets the third Monday of every month in South Philadelphia. The total cost for Blossoming Bellies Birth Mentor Services is $280. Payment can be made via cash, check, or Paypal. Please email Brittany to register and arrange payment. For more information, please contact Brittany at 267-261-0284 or britt@blossomingbelliesbirth.com Blossoming Bellies is proud to provide wholistic birth services to the greater Philadelphia area. For clients outside the county of Philadelphia, a one-time $25 travel-related expenses fee will be added to the cost of birth mentor services. |
