Are you kind of nervous about
labour and birth? ​So many unknowns!

Are you worried about how you'll cope with a newborn while sleep-deprived, hormonal and overwhelmed? All of the feedings, diaper changes, trying to get them to sleep and deciphering why they are crying?

Do the health system prenatal classes not align with your schedule or needs?

Are you stressed about who to call in the middle of the night to ​watch
​your older child(ren) while ​you give birth?​
​
​

​Whether you are expecting your first baby
or adding to your family; pregnancy, birth and those first weeks home with
a newborn can be challenging.

Hiring the experience and expertise of Maternal Instincts Childbirth Services to
offer unconditional support during this time will help you feel more calm, relaxed and confident.

We want your birth experience and first few months with your newborn to be remembered with joy, ​positivity and empowerment!
​​You can rest easy knowing you have a ​professional at your side.
​
​

​
Helping you to tune into your inner strength
and instilling a sense of calm during this intense
and vulnerable time is our specialty!

​​"Tracy's calm, professional, and knowledgeable air was imperative to my pregnancy and delivery process. She was always available to answer any questions I had, as well as the answers to questions I didn't know to ask. Having her there with us took off all the nervous pressure and enabled us to follow our instincts which led to a beautiful birthing process. She will be my first call in any subsequent pregnancies ​the
​future brings for my family!"

Birth or postpartum doula support

Our doulas support all your birth and parenting choices! We are perfect for you if you are planning on:

🔸 home birth or hospital birth
🔸 unmedicated birth or epidurals
🔸 breastfeeding/chestfeeding or bottlefeeding
🔸 cloth diapers or disposable diapers
🔸 having a completely unbiased doula who supports your wishes and nurtures your parenting skills.

However, we are not the right fit for you if you want us to:
​
🔸 attend an unassisted birth without a midwife or doctor
🔸 speak to medical staff for you - we teach you how to do this yourself and experience the empowerment that it brings
🔸 use newborn care practices that are detrimental to baby's health.

You can rest easy knowing you have a supportive, professional doula by your side. Hire one of Calgary's best doulas today!​

PRENATAL CLASSES
​

Looking for comprehensive classes to help prepare you for birth? Look no further! We are perfect for you if you need:

🔸 group classes or private classes
🔸 to schedule classes at your convenience
🔸 to know all the latest evidence based information
🔸 an unbiased class that covers the pros & cons
🔸 a custom designed class that will teach the specific topics you want to cover.

However, we are not the right fit for you if you believe:

🔸 there is a right or a wrong way to give birth
🔸 in only one particular method of birth or newborn care
🔸 gender inclusive language will bother you when we use terms like birthing person and partner. Not everyone identifies as a woman or with the term "mama."

Our classes will leave you feeling more confident about birth and caring for a newborn. Hire one of Calgary's best prenatal instructors today!
