The Doula Network of Fort Wayne would like to thank all participants who helped to make Birth Matters 2007 a great success!!
Saturday May 5, 2007 at the
Allen County Main Library
as of May 1, 2007
As of May 1st DNFW has had to shift a few of the workshop time slots. We do not anticipate changing the times again and apologize for any inconvienence.
What better way for Fort Wayne to celebrate International Midwives and Doulas Day than to host free, family-centered childbirth and postpartum workshops at Fort Wayne's newly renovated downtown library! Vendors from all around Indiana will be there to set up informational tables on midwifery, natural baby care and parenting, baby supplies, Hypnobabies and more!
The DNFW will begin May 5th with a Celebration Breakfast honoring local midwives and doulas from 9 - 11am. The morning will consist of mingling with local doulas, midwives, doctors and nurses, a short welcome message from the DNFW and a precious video presentation celebrating birth of all kinds.
Family photography appointments will be taken by appointment only. You will have the opportunity to utilize a professionals skills to capture your pregnancy belly or family charm. Due to the popularity of this event the DNFW is asking all interested to please hold your spot by email.
DNFW is happy to announce the privilege of having Terry Blankenship from Indianapolis to present the techniques of Hypnobabies for birthing families. This workshop is a MUST-SEE for any family preparing for labor and delivery! Free prenatal massage, information on birth and postpartum doulas, Once Upon a Family interactive workshop, baby wearing sling workshops, natural care seminars, midwifery in Fort Wayne, and more!
