I come to your home in the canton of Fribourg, more precisely in the surroundings of Romont, Bulle, Vuadens, Vaulruz, Autigny, Ursy, Siviriez, etc... The list is not exhaustive. I offer personalized care before and after the birth of your baby. I aim to provide high quality, evidence-based, woman-centered care to women and their families, while respecting your wishes and adapting to your circumstances and culture. My mission has three aspects: pregnancy care and detection of any potential deviation from the norm, education and health promotion. By combining these three pillars, women are then empowered to make informed choices and experience their pregnancy in a serene manner. Individual birth preparation classes A la carte, according to your needs, whether it's your first pregnancy or you'd like a refresher course. Topics may include: • The end of pregnancy: What to expect and how to ease discomfort. • Pre-labour and labour (contractions) • How to manage contractions • Birth and welcoming your new baby • The first days and weeks with baby • Breastfeeding and/or bottles of formula milk • Preparing my dog for the arrival of baby (with a dog behaviourist) Pregnancy monitoring with or without a doctor's prescription Sometimes your pregnancy requires close monitoring, and your doctor may decide to prescribe midwifery care at home (covered by your basic insurance). If this is the case, I'll be happy to promptly organise with you our first appointment to suit your needs. CTG monitoring of your baby's heart rate and uterine activity If your pregnancy requires close monitoring in the comfort of your own home, I can bring a CTG (cardiotocograph) to record your baby's heart rate and uterine activity over a period of 20-30 minutes. Follow-up after the birth At your home, as soon as you get home, by appointment Breastfeeding advice
