These are our favorite, trusted resources for pregnant folks & new parents
…many of whom we have turned to personally in our own parenting journeys. Most are located in the Triangle area in North Carolina, but some are national or international.
We make an effort to only recommend providers who value inclusive, gender affirming, anti-racist, body positive, patient-centered, equity of care. If you work with any of these folks & find that not to be true, please let us know đź’›
