Important reminders

Birth-work is a fluid and flexible lifestyle which means that the first week of services will likely look different than the planned schedule due to the spontaneous nature of birth and the unpredictable day you will come home from the birth facility. Additionally, as long as minimum hours are being met, the exact days and times can be flexible to fit the weekly individual needs of your family.
