Whether you are pregnant with your first child or your tenth child, the healthy labor and delivery of your child is the most critical piece of the entire journey of pregnancy and childbirth. Critical to this process are the healthcare professionals who support you and help make decisions with you about your pregnancy and childbirth experience. Here are three key healthcare professionals to consider hiring to support you throughout the process.

Midwife

If you desire a more natural and unobtrusive pregnancy, labor and delivery experience then hiring a midwife Tampa is a good place to look. Midwives look to support women in ensuring the health and safe delivery of their baby while minimizing interventions and unnecessary technological procedures common in labor and delivery situations. The primary belief system of midwives is that labor and delivery are natural processes which the woman’s body can perform on their own with the right support in most situations.

OBGYN

If you have a high-risk pregnancy or desire the comfort and security of delivering a baby with a trained obstetrics and gynecology doctor (OBGYN) present then hiring an OBGYN will be essential. OBGYN doctors are skilled and specialize in working with women who are pregnant in all situations including those with higher risk factors like pregnancies of multiples, women with previous birth complications and women with complicating health conditions who are pregnant.

Doula

While a midwife and OBYN will perform the actual delivery of your baby, you may desire extra emotional and social support through your labor and delivery. A doula will get to know you prior to your labor and delivery and help you make a birth-plan and help you remember and support your decisions during the stressful time of delivering a baby. Doulas can help you sort through decisions as they develop during childbirth and advocate with the healthcare professionals for your wishes throughout the process.

Finding the perfect gift for your girlfriend or wife may sometimes seem like a wild goose chase at times. While classics like jewelry and flowers are a safe option, a more thoughtful gift might be more meaningful to her. If this is something you’d like to do but that has you somewhat stumped, you might consider some of these options.

A Relaxing and Rejuvenating Spa Day

A unique gift idea for your leading lady is a spa day. Treat her to a gift certificate for a manicure and pedicure, massage or a non-invasive skin procedure such as a facial. These things will help her feel relaxed and rejuvenated and may be just the thing she needs to relieve the stress life inevitably brings. Looking and feeling her best can also help give her a boost of energy and feel more confident.

A New or Old Hobby

If there is something your partner has always wanted to try but hasn’t made time for, surprise her with that. From painting classes to dance lessons, there is probably something available in your community that fits the bill. Learning new skills or brushing up on old hobbies will help her feel more fulfilled and can help her explore her different interests.

Regular Delivery Subscription Services

A subscription service can be the gift that keeps on giving. A lot of things are now available for regularly delivery, including healthy meals, makeup, audio books, cleaning supplies and television streaming. Think about something she would like and she’ll get surprises all year long that will make her think of you. 

Whether you’re on the hunt for the perfect birthday or Christmas gift or just want to surprise your gal, a non-traditional gift may be just the thing. Think outside the box and consider a spa day, paying for dance or art lessons or purchasing a subscription service.
