Health, Medical, Miscarriages, previous or current pregnancy
If all goes well, what would you like your birth to be like? What areas are most important to you in this birth? (This is not a birth plan; just general desires)
Every mom has fears or concerns going into birth. What are yours? How can I help you most with those?
The spiritual aspect of our lives vary from person to person. So I can better understand and help you, what role does the spiritual side of life play in your life? How do you see this area influencing (or not) your birth experience?
Labor pain can be greatly reduced by mom becoming deeply relaxed. What relaxation patterns work for you? Several common ones would be: touch/stroking, visualization, vocalization, positions, walking, water (bath/shower), music, “half hour deal”. We will discuss these more together, but feel free to comment on those you think you would (or would not) like, in order to help you relax in labor.
Would like me to know anything else?
