Peace of Mind in Pregnancy: A Reflection Guide for Expectant Parents

Pregnancy can bring a whirlwind of emotions, plans, and pressure. With so much information to navigate, it’s easy to feel like you’re losing touch with what really matters to you. That’s why taking a few moments to pause and reflect can be powerful.

At its core, peace of mind during pregnancy is about feeling grounded, informed, and supported — in ways that align with your unique values and needs. Below are a few simple but meaningful questions designed to help you reconnect with yourself and identify the support that will truly serve you best.

What does “peace of mind” look like to you right now?

Is it feeling informed and prepared? Having consistent support? Being able to slow down? Take a moment to define it in your own words.

What’s weighing on your mind the most?
From decisions about birth to outside life stressors, naming your top 1–2 concerns can help you begin to release them — or ask for the help you need.

What kind of support feels most helpful right now?
☑ Emotional reassurance
☑ Clear information
☑ Practical tools/resources
☑ Hands-on help
☑ Space to ask questions
☑ Other: ____________

How do you best receive new information or instructions?
Think about what helps things “click” for you. Written, verbal, visual, or hands-on?

What is your preferred way to receive communication?
☑ Text
☑ Email
☑ Phone
☑ In person
☑ Other: ____________

Are there any cultural values, personal preferences, or past experiences you’d like someone supporting you to know?
You deserve care that respects your full story. Anything you’d like to share can help create a more thoughtful experience.

What helps you feel most confident and cared for when working with a professional or service provider?
This could be tone, style of communication, consistency, listening, or other factors.

What typically causes you stress or overwhelm?
Identifying your stress triggers allows you (and others supporting you) to navigate them more gently.

What helps you regulate or come back to calm?
Knowing your own go-to strategies can empower your experience. For example Knowing what you can control

Is there anything else you’d like to share about how you’d like to be supported on this journey?
Whether it’s a specific fear, hope, or simple request — it matters.

This is your journey. Reflecting on these questions isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about staying connected to yourself in a season full of change.

Wherever you are in the process, we hope this gives you space to breathe, think, and feel more grounded in what matters most.

This reflection guide is inspired by the values behind The Peace of Mind Method™ — a supportive care model grounded in evidence, empathy, and empowerment.

When a Shared Vision Becomes a Powerful Partnership

Sometimes, the most meaningful collaborations start with a heartfelt conversation—like the one that sparked the launch of childbirth classes in Palm Bay.

When Dr. Beth and Terra from The Healthy Family Chiropractic and Massage met with Kathy Bradley, IBCLC, founder and Teresa McIntyre, Operations Manager for Childbirth Concierge®, they discovered a shared passion. Both teams were committed to expanding access to trusted perinatal education and support throughout Brevard and Indian River counties.

As they talked, a clear need came into focus—families needed more hands-on guidance and confidence-building support right in their own communities. That initial conversation led to something bigger: a deeply aligned partnership rooted in clarity, compassion, and the shared belief that families deserve more.

A Warm Welcome to Our Newest Location

Beginning July 10, 2025, The Healthy Family Chiropractic and Massage will host our Platinum Series Childbirth Education Classes. These evening sessions will take place Thursdays on the 4th floor of their Palm Bay office at:

5200 Babcock St NE, Suite 400A
Palm Bay, FL 32905

The Healthy Family is a community-centered practice that inspires wellness and empowers families. Because of our shared values, this collaboration felt like a natural fit from the very beginning.

Now, we’re proud to bring trusted childbirth education even closer to families in Palm Bay, Melbourne, Viera, and throughout Brevard County.

What Families Can Expect

We keep class sizes intentionally small to offer a cozy, interactive space where families feel heard and supported. Each couple receives access to our Peace of Mind Dashboard—a curated online hub filled with trusted tools and planning guides.

In-Office Lactation Consultations—Coming Soon

In addition to classes, in-office lactation consultations with our IBCLCs will soon be available at this Palm Bay location. For now, families can access in-home lactation support, with many visits covered by insurance.

👉 Start here to check your insurance and request a home visit.

We welcome early interest and questions from those planning ahead.

Navigating Pregnancy Worry: Focus on What You Can Control

Navigating Pregnancy Worry: Focus on What You Can Control

by | May 22, 2025 | Birth, Pregnancy

Why Pregnancy Can Feel Emotionally Overwhelming
Navigating pregnancy worry is a common part of the journey—even in the midst of joy and excitement. Pregnancy can be filled with hope and anticipation, but also a thousand questions. From prenatal testing to planning your birth, it’s easy to feel like there’s so much riding on every choice. That mental weight? It’s real. But it doesn’t have to take over.
Understanding What You Can Control
You can’t control when labor will start.
You can’t control every symptom or outcome.
But you can control:

  • How you prepare

  • Who supports you

  • What information you take in

  • How you speak to yourself

Shifting Your Mental Load with Intention
When your thoughts spiral into “what ifs,” pause and ask:
🔹 What is actually in my hands today?
Even one clear, doable action—like reviewing your birth class notes or texting your doula—can ground you and help  when navigating pregnancy worry.

Simple Tools to Protect Your Peace During Pregnancy

  • Breathe intentionally (even for 30 seconds)

  • Focus on facts, not fears

  • Use a journal or notes app to clear mental clutter

  • Prioritize rest and nourishment

  • Talk with someone you trust—don’t carry it all alone

  • Consider taking a class like Calm Birth
Support That Keeps You Steady
At Childbirth Concierge®, our mission is peace of mind. We know the mental weight pregnancy brings—and we’re here to help lighten it. Whether you’re facing big decisions or everyday anxiety, our certified team offers expert support that helps you feel prepared, informed, and never alone.

Peace of Mind During Pregnancy & Birth | The Peace of Mind Method™

Peace of Mind During Pregnancy & Birth | The Peace of Mind Method™

Peace of Mind During Pregnancy & Birth | The Peace of Mind Method™

At Childbirth Concierge®, we believe preparing for childbirth and parenting is about more than just checklists or clinical milestones. It’s about feeling safe, respected, and deeply supported. That’s why everything we do is grounded in The Peace of Mind Method™—a model where trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches intersect to transform perinatal care. Most importantly, our focus is peace of mind during pregnancy and birth.

More than a philosophy, this method is the foundation of our entire practice. It guides how we educate, listen, and walk alongside families—through childbirth classes, doula care, lactation support, and postpartum planning. In addition, it represents the intersection of what modern families truly need: practical tools, emotional safety, and deep trust in their own instincts.

Why “Peace of Mind”?

In a maternity system where many families feel unseen, rushed, or overwhelmed, peace of mind is more than a luxury—it’s a necessity. It’s the emotional and cognitive space to make informed decisions, feel secure in your choices, and be fully present in your own experience.

That’s why our model goes beyond typical education or support. It combines two vital elements:

  • Evidence-Based Care — grounded in current best practices and clinical knowledge.
  • Trauma-Informed Principles — recognizing that everyone’s story is different. As a result, care must be respectful, individualized, and empowering.

Because of this, our method builds trust, clarity, and confidence—no matter your background, birth plan, or path to parenthood.

The Peace of Mind Method™, Defined

Each letter in PEACE OF MIND represents a core value we embody at every stage of care—from the first consult to postpartum follow-up.

Our approach is built to support you with peace of mind during pregnancy and birth, so you can make decisions with clarity and confidence.

P.E.A.C.E. – The Foundation of Support

P – Personalized Support
Every journey is different. We meet families where they are—with tailored care, not one-size-fits-all plans.

E – Educate to Empower
Knowledge reduces fear. We lead with education that’s relevant, respectful, and rooted in your goals. As a result, empowered families make confident decisions.

A – Access to Trusted Support
From Certified Childbirth Consultants™, doulas, and childbirth educators to IBCLCs, families receive reliable, compassionate care every step of the way—from planning to postpartum.

C – Continuity of Care
We bridge the gaps in traditional maternity systems. As a result, we offer ongoing, relationship-based support from pregnancy through postpartum.

E – Empowerment Through Connection
True peace of mind comes from feeling seen, heard, and never alone. You are supported by a team that walks beside you, not ahead of you.

O.F. – Ownership and Feeling Grounded

O – Owning Your Experience
You deserve to be at the center of your care—not just guided, but grounded. Peace of mind means having a say in what matters to you.

F – Following Your Instincts
While books and classes are helpful, no expert replaces the wisdom within. We help you tune out the noise so you can hear—and trust—yourself.

M.I.N.D. – Inner Clarity and Confident Decisions

M – Make Room for What You Feel
There’s no right way to feel on this journey. Birth and parenting stir up big emotions. For that reason, we encourage you to acknowledge them with compassion, not judgment.

I – Identify What You Need
Clarity starts from within. Whether it’s rest, reassurance, or real information, naming your needs is how you begin to meet them.

N – Nourish Your Inner Voice
Your instincts are valid. We help protect and strengthen that voice so it can guide your decisions with confidence.

D – Decide With Confidence
Whether you’re choosing a provider, setting boundaries, or even shaping your birth preferences, you can move forward with calm, informed intention.

The Foundation of Childbirth Concierge®

Whether you’re attending one of our childbirth education classes,, hiring a doula, joining a lactation consult, or connecting through virtual support, you’ll experience The Peace of Mind Method™ in action. It shapes our tone, the way we design materials, how we train our team, and how we walk beside every family we serve.

This is not a one-size-fits-all model. Instead, it’s relationship-centered care, rooted in both best practice and deep respect for your lived experience.

What Peace of Mind Means for You During Pregnancy and Birth

When you work with Childbirth Concierge®, you’re not just booking a class or service. You’re partnering with a team who sees you as the expert of your own story. In turn, we equip you with tools to navigate pregnancy, birth, and early parenting with both confidence and calm.

Because peace of mind isn’t a perk—it’s the foundation.
