PreParing for Birth- The Journal
What is Preparing for Birth?
It’s 38 pages full of inspiration, discussion points and positive affirmations. It can be used as a frame to build prenatal appointments around or it can be used by couples to grow together during their pregnancy as they talk through their desires and priorities.
But it is NOT childbirth education and it does not emphasis any type of birth. Instead it organizes the thoughts, hopes of dreams of an individual or couple and turns them into easy discussion points to chat about with a care provider, birth team or partner.
The journal is printed on the softest high quality paper. It looks and feels luxe - families will feel pampered.
And it is not just for BEST doulas! As a benefit of certification, BEST Doulas will always receive half off of the retail price, but every doula and expecting family can use Preparing for Birth as they plan their baby's arrival.
Since it is un-branded it will simply accent and add to all the wonderful things you are already doing!
Amazing Prenatals
Create prenatals that feel awesome to both doula and clients - where the doula walks away and can't wait for the birth and the clients are thrilled that they chose *you* as their doula! Preparing For Birth changes prenatals from something ho-hum to something amazing. Hand clients this gorgeous book and they will feel pampered before even cracking it open. Build rapport in an all new way!
stronger relationships
We always recommend a doula, but this book stands alone for anyone looking for a positive way to prepare for birth. The book is filled with thought provoking questions designed to get couples talking to each other how they want to experience birth. Preparing For Birth is practical no matter what the birth plans are (or how they may change over time).
Productive Appointments
Questions come up during pregnancy, but appointments with providers can be short - Preparing For Birth helps! No longer will important questions be remembered after an appointment, instead expecting families will have the tools for timely and positive discussions. Preparing For Birth also has the blueprint for a birth and baby plans that care providers will read, appreciate and respect.
Preparing For Birth is written by Amanda Devereux and Maria Pokluda. Both are doulas with more than a decade of experience and they are the founders of BEST Doulas. Between them, they also carry the credentials of Labor and Delivery nurse (Amanda), certified childbirth educators, post partum specialists and IBCLC (Amanda). Preparing For Birth shares the secrets Amanda and Maria have learned in their vast experience serving families as they plan for childbirth.
