Expertise
I will answer questions about pregnancy and childbirth, doulas and midwives and ob-gyn's, fertility, natural family planning (NFP) and breastfeeding. I can also help with VBAC, cesarean birth, natural childbirth, labor & delivery, pain medication and other interventions. I can help with fertility/conception questions, but it is extra helpful if you chart your cycles and can provide this data. Please direct gynecological questions to a doctor. Thank you for allowing me to be of service to you!
