With Sunflower Doula Services in Colorado

I am so pleased to have you join us as Michelle-Nicholle Calareso, owner of Sunflower Doula Services in Colorado and the Multicultural Director of DONA International shares with us information about how to Tackle Your Birth and Labor Checklist! Michelle-Nicolle has been serving women as a doula for three years. Please visit Michelle-Nicolle's website at www.sunflowerdoula.webs.com and blog at www.sunflowerdoula.blogspot.com With all of the books, resources, and websites out there on having a baby one can get overwhelmed and anxious about giving birth.

Tonight you will find out how to gather all the necessary information and support team personnel that you need to go into your labor room feeling at ease and in control of the process. Discover what books to read, how to hire a doula, and how to set up a schedule for meals before your postpartum period. And now, I would very much like to welcome Michelle-Nicolle!

Michelle-Nicholle Calareso: I am very excited to discuss how to take the anxiety out of preparing for birth and labor. I also want to thank Tiffani for putting together this educational site and service. Thank you Tiffani, for allowing me to be a part of the Pampered Pregger and Beyond chat series.

Tiffani Lawton: My pleasure!

Michelle-Nicholle Calareso: As a doula and a mother I have found that preparing for labor and delivery can be extremely stressful for a majority of expectant parents. There are dozens of books, movies and media sources giving a myriad of opinions on how to labor. There are numerous childbirth preparation classes ranging from Lamaze to HypnoBirthing to chose from. It can be daunting. Not to mention the information that we receive from family members and friends. I hope that this chat will help narrow down all of the choices. Tonight we will discuss how to assemble the birth team for you, birth plans, childbirth preparation class, books that I love, and what to prepare now for the postpartum period. Let's start with the birth team.
