Group Prenatals
Free, and exclusively for our doula clients
Offered once a month, these prenatal groups are like a mini class or discussion group with other expecting families. Coffee/tea/water and a light snack provided. The group meets in downtown Wheaton in the office space of With U Parenting, in close walking distance of many coffee shops and restaurants.
​
Extra benefits of attending one or more group prenatal:
Make the most of your doula services. This meeting is free to our clients.
Meet other local expecting families.
Meet backup doulas who may be on call for your birth.
Hear other people's questions you never thought to ask.
Discuss the most embarrassing pregnancy- and birth-related issues in a safe and supportive environment.
Practice hands-on comfort measures.
Learn tips for advocating for yourself in common birth scenarios
Community Workshops
Customized workshops on birth & baby topics
We love to gather with a group of expecting or new parents and go in-depth on a topic you really care about. Our doulas have a deep well of knowledge and not nearly enough time to share it all! Pick a topic, location, place & time, and we'll do the rest.
