Hi! My name is Brittney. I’m a registered nurse who has decided to transition away from the hospital setting to help families get ready for the postpartum period before delivery.

Over the past decade I’ve cared for thousands of families across the country from Maryland, Georgia, Minnesota, California, D.C. and Virginia and I have noticed a common theme. Families have done a great deal of research on the labor process, but the postpartum period isn’t emphasized enough. Questions like, is this physical change normal? What products are most useful? Who do I call if I have a concern? What does this medical jargon mean? In the very short stay, you have at the hospital the amount of information you are tasked to understand and remember is enormous. On top of that, parents are learning how to feed, recover and rest in between the adrenaline rush of parenthood… it can be tough.

Because I’ve noticed the gaps in information, I built When Expecting to help alleviate some of your anxiety and answer your questions. I’ll be here as your coach to break it all down, so you can be ahead of the game.
