Birth Prep

Every family is different and not all clients desire face-to-face support when labor begins or having their doulas on call 24/7. Indiana Birth & Parenting offers this one time birth prep consultation in your home to help lay the groundwork for your upcoming birth. This isn’t a typical birth plan. Instead we’ll cover what to expect from your particular hospital, what to pack in your hospital bags, when you should go to the hospital, what the birth day (or night) will look like, and what to expect chronologically during labor and birth. We’ll also go over induction methods, pain management options, vaginal birth, cesarean birth, and ways your partner can offer support during the different stages of labor. This 1-2 hour session will take place in your home.

*The Birth Prep Consultation is included in the IBP Pregnancy & Birth Package.

Welcome Home Prep

You've had a baby! Now what?! Our experience as moms and doulas has taught us preparing for the 4th trimester is essential for physical recovery and emotional health. Planning on caring for a baby you haven't met yet can overpower your thoughts. Have no fear...we're here to give you a simple and tangible approach to life with a new baby!

Indiana Birth & Parenting offers this one-time Welcome Home Planning Consultation, similar to the Birth Prep Consultation. This option gives you an insider’s point of view- from what to expect during the moments right after delivery, to the days, weeks and months that follow. This prep session takes place before birth, and in the comfort of your own home.

We’ll begin your custom consultation by going over your hospital’s protocols after birth, along with what to expect during your hospital stay and time of discharge. Then, the session will shift to exploring what baby’s first days at home will look like for all involved.

After you feel more prepared to bring your fresh baby home, we'll transition into what you can expect immediately after giving birth, recovery, and postpartum. We'll walk through recovery from vaginal and cesarean birth and offer simple ways to prep your home ahead of time to make the transition easier on everyone. We also touch on perinatal mood disorders- what’s typical and when/how to seek help- and what your partner can anticipate during every postpartum stage. After this informative 1-2 hour in-home session, you’ll feel confident and prepared to bring home your baby.

*The Welcome Home Planning Consultation is included in the IBP Pregnancy & Birth Package.

 Registry + Nursery Planning

Your baby shower is coming up and now's the time to make your registry and plan your nursery. After you get comfy on your couch and open up your laptop to begin, you freeze. Where do you begin? What do you really NEED? The online checklists are overwhelming. Which high end products are really worth it? Why are there 700 types of baby monitors and a million brands of swaddles- and why are there so many choices when it comes to bottles?!

Then the questions and tips from loved ones start flooding in. All of your friends have great recommendations, but somehow, their advice confuses you more- and a lot of times their recommendations are outdated.

Sound familiar? We've been there! And we’ve helped other parents just like you navigate through the challenges of finding the best baby items for them. As a postpartum doula- and most recently as a new mom again- Jordan as REAL insider's POV. She’s seen and used all the products, and she has exceptional insight on the latest baby trends! She’s been in countless homes/nurseries and she knows tactical ways to organize your nursery once the items arrive so that it runs efficiently for YOU.
