Get yourself comfortable: From what you are wearing to where you are sitting, be comfortable with your surroundings.

Questions: Write down any questions or things you know you want to discuss in advance.

Notes:  Have something with you to jot down notes! You will have access to our recommendations through your portal, but you might want to write some things down in your own words.

Choose a good location:  Please try to find a quiet place with good lighting for your session.

Nothing is off-limits: Come ready to learn and ask questions.

Be prepared to discuss your intake forms: Including items about your medical history,with your new provider. On that note, make sure you have completed all of your intake forms for your provider! That way, you get to dive right into your session.

You can use your Partum Health App to do so by clicking the “Documents” tab. To add an image, tap the “+” sign in the top right corner of your screen.
