Care during another pandemic
Thankfully Covid 19 is no longer a pandemic. You may be wondering if another pandemic happens how my care may change during your journey into parenthood. Please know that I am following all recommended guidelines and will continue to provide as much face to face support as possible. If the pandemic or other catastrophic event leaves me unable to enter the hospital or I cannot come to your home to provide care because of a shelter in place, I will provide virtual care throughout your pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Please know that in this way, I am still able to do almost everything I would normally do like reminding you to hydrate, use bathroom, change positions, rest, and giving emotional support. I will also be there to help answer any questions you may have about your care and help you make an informed decision.
