RECOMMENDED READINGS | LOCAL RESOURCES
First and foremost, before reading about pregnancy and labor, we highly encourage you to research and KNOW your care provider. Please take a look at these links: 10 Questions for your Care Provider , What every Mom Should Know , and Interviewing Doulas. We tend to trust our providers implicitly...take the time to make sure your current care providers are 'caring' for your needs and desires with regards to birth and most importantly that you feel like you are working as a team when planning your care. These are important questions to be answered before your birthing time.
