Your pregnancy and labor experience should be as unique as your little arrival. The Parkview Health team of birth planners is here to support parents, no matter what type of circumstances they’re experiencing. From the first meeting, our goal is to help families feel comfortable, as prepared for their delivery as possible, and satisfied with answers to all of their questions. Brandi Acosta, BSN, RN, birth planner and prenatal education supervisor, Parkview Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Parkview Regional Medical Center, tells us just what a meeting with the birth planner means for moms- and dads-to-be.
