Each page in this google drive folder is a printable document that explains some important and very useful to know aspect of pregnancy, labor and delivery, the postpartum period, and breastfeeding.
Some info you may know, other info you may have heard mentioned, and some may be completely new news to you. I strongly encourage you to learn from EVIDENCE-BASED SOURCES and prepare as much as you can during pregnancy to support a safe and empowered birthing and postpartum experience. Try your best not to take things in this process for granted while also keeping yourself open and flexible to following the current of what is best in each moment.
Review these handouts with your support people, use them to guide your questions for your care providers (Ob or Midwifery team) and to inform your birth plan. Of course, feel free to print and share them.
-
I did not create ANY of the handouts but have collected them along my perinatal doula journey from various local community organizations like Maternity Care Coalition, Birth Justice Philly, and others.
-
I may add to/update the folder periodically.
Use these videos to accompany the handouts.
I hope you find these handouts and resources helpful!
