FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What exactly is a maternity concierge?
Much like a wedding planner, a maternity concierge serves as a skilled, unbiased resource for planning and coordination, but for your birth journey. From pregnancy through return to work, a maternity concierge can assist with anything non-medical related to the arrival of your new baby. This could mean recommending a podcast or book, referring you to a doula for labor support, consulting on baby gear, planning a baby shower, creating a postpartum recovery plan, or picking up last-minute items before baby’s arrival.
What kind of services do you provide?
At Flourish we focus on logistics, planning, organization, consulting, and referrals. This means everything from educating and consulting on the best baby gear for your lifestyle, to organizing key areas of your home, to assembling the perfect postpartum support network for your recovery. You can learn more about how we can help you flourish on our Services page.
At what stage in my pregnancy should I contact you?
The start of your second trimester is the perfect time to begin working with us. That said, it’s never too late! If you’re coming up on your final weeks of pregnancy there is still plenty we can do to support you.
Why work with a maternity concierge?
Time is a finite resource and life is full of competing priorities. What is the most valuable way for you to be spending your time? Remember, just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should. You’re used to delegating and prioritizing within your career; bring that same mindset to preparing for birth. We are here to help you recapture your time and energy so that you can focus on what matters most to you.
How can I trust that your help will be unbiased?
We believe strongly in parent-led decision making. Based on your unique preferences, priorities, and situation, we provide up-to-date, accurate, and customized education, resources, and support so that you can make your own decisions and transition to motherhood the way that feels right to you. We do not receive any kickbacks from manufacturers for product recommendations, and we only share products and refer service providers in whom we have a high level of conviction.
