Community Prenatal Meetings are an exclusive benefit for Emerald Doulas clients. Whether you're receiving birth or postpartum doula support (minimum of 36 hour postpartum package), first time parents or experiencing parenthood again, Community Prenatal Meetings are a time to build connections and grow together.
We host a time and place for you to hear about your options, plan for your birth and new baby, and connect with other parents. Our local experts will guide the conversation, and you'll learn from us and each other. Each month we feature a different topic (topics not typically covered during childbirth education, newborn care classes or other prenatal education like Centering) on a variety of days and times so you can be sure to find a chance to attend.
You are encouraged to attend as many as you'd like as you prepare for birth and life with a newborn. These are your opportunities for the most in-depth preparation for your transition into parenthood and a chance to build a deeper relationship with our community. These meetings are hands-down the single most talked about benefit of being a client at EmDo. Our clients rave about the connections they make and the information they learn and share together.
