Who’s in Your Circle for Birth & Beyond?

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum can come with a lot of questions. Who should be on your birth team? What does a doula actually do? Do you need a midwife? When should you look for lactation support? And how do you find people who understand your culture, your values, and the kind of experience you want to have?

Join us for a free, welcoming conversation designed to help you start building your circle of support. Learn about the different people who can support you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum and how to think about what kind of support might be right for you.

We’ll talk about:

• Who can be part of your birth and postpartum team

• What doulas, midwives, lactation professionals, and other birth workers do

• How to figure out what kind of support you may want or need

• Why culturally aligned care matters

• The importance of Latina/Latine birth workers in creating more culturally responsive care

• How to start finding the right people for your circle

• Where Casa de Parteras fits in and how our directory can help you find culturally aligned birth support

And, of course, there will be time for your questions.

This is a chance to ask questions, learn what's out there, and start thinking about the people you want in your corner.

This conversation is completely free and open to families who are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, newly postpartum, or simply curious about what support is available.

Your village doesn't have to look one particular way.

Let's talk about what your circle can look like.
