Meet Birth Savvy

Our Story

Anna and Ashley bonded over similar nursing styles while working on a busy Boston labor and delivery unit. While welcoming new babies into this world, they spent many sleepless nights helping each other, laughing at each other, and brainstorming ways to improve their patient’s experiences.

Anna and Ashley often worried that their patients arrived to L&D unsure of what to expect—or with expectations different from the options available—leaving their patients vulnerable to feeling overwhelmed and scared. When their careers transitioned to outpatient Maternal Fetal Medicine, it became clear why. Visits with your OB provider are fast and there is A LOT to cover, especially if you are experiencing any unique or high-risk conditions. There is simply not enough time for detailed birth and postpartum planning leading up to delivery.

Group childbirth classes available to fill this gap are an amazing option for many people. They cannot address the nuances of each pregnancy, however, and may not be a comfortable place to discuss past experiences impacting your current pregnancy.

Birth Savvy was founded to offer an option for private, individualized birth preparation and postpartum support. Our range of services combine clinical expertise with individualized education to help every parent feel uniquely prepared from pregnancy through postpartum.
