Welcome New Moms!
Overwhelmed by Opinions?
Whether you just had a baby, are currently expecting, or just thinking about getting pregnant, you are probably experiencing information overload about what you should be doing. Well meaning family and friends, doctors, hairdressers...everyone has an opinion about pregnancy and parenting and they aren't afraid to share!
So you read lots of books, and you do your own research on the internet. Not only do you find a million hits for everything you research, but you can find lots of support for both sides of the issues. How are you supposed to sort through it all?
Help cut through the Hype!
I help my patients figure out what is important to them! Tune out the extra noise and pay attention to your own core values. Combine that with evidence based information that we go over together to help guide your decisions, .
Experienced and Empowered?
On the other hand, some of you may feel like you've got it under control! You've done your research, follow your instincts, have a clear idea of what you want, and are just looking for the best doctor for your family. You are empowered by your birth experience, maybe under the care of doulas and/or midwives, and you enjoy the long appointments and personal attention they could provide. You are looking for a doctor who can bring that same sense of respect for individuality and natural normal processes to the rest of your family's health needs.
I’ve been there!
With two kids of my own, I've had to work through these decisions with my own family. Homebirth vs hospital, vaccines, breastfeeding, co-sleeping, baby-wearing, circumcision...my decisions may not be the same as yours, but I've struggled with the evidence and emotions, and can help you work through the same process to identify the best decisions for you.
It's OK to ask for help.
