Pre Birth Doula Service

This is a one-off meeting to discuss what signs of labour to look out for, advice on harvesting Breast Milk and what to pack into your hospital bag. Getting ready for labour can be an exciting and a nervous time all at once. I offer a one off meeting to discuss any issues or concerns you may have to help reassure you.
