It has been a very tumultuous year for birthing families and those who care for them. We at the Childbirth Collective are excited to be bringing back a resource that will enhance your pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience.

We’re RE-launching our public-facing events: Childbirth Collective Meet & Greets, free online events where pregnant people and expectant families meet and connect with Collective members to LEARN and create their support team! Meet & Greets are on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month. The fourth Tuesday will always be “All About Doulas” and the second Tuesday will rotate themes such as “All About Lactation” or “All About Bodywork”, etc.

We begin with a moderated panel, where Collective members answer general questions (i.e. “What is a doula?”, “How can I prepare to breastfeed?”) followed by breakout rooms where attendees will have a chance to ask specific questions. Breakout rooms will change every 5 minutes, until families have met all five CC members present (think “speed dating”).

Events can be found on our calendar: https://www.childbirthcollective.org/events/ and our website www.childbirthcollective.org

The mission of the Childbirth Collective is to enhance the childbearing year by promoting doula support, advocating evidenced-based care and providing accessible education based on the wellness model of pregnancy care. We welcome your feedback or questions. Contact us anytime at president@childbirthcollective.org

Best,
