The path to childbirth can be unnerving and confusing, and that's why we are here to help you along the way. We recommend well-pregnancy visits monthly or bi-monthly to screen for potential health issues, answer questions and address concerns you may have about your pregnancy, baby, birth, breastfeeding or the post-partum period. These visits compliment those of your OB/GYN or midwife. You can expect dietary assessments and supplement recommendations to ensure optimal nutrient status for mother and baby, as well as discussion of care around labour and postpartum.
