Vaatsalyam is the brainchild of Dr. Priya Shashank....a childbirth educator, certified by CAPPA(USA), and an International Board Certified Lactation consultant. A birth professional, a physician, healthcare manager, and a mother of two, Vaatsalyam is her attempt to bridge the gap between care providers and parents-to-be by providing the much required information to would-be parents and helping the
m make informed decisions about their pregnancy and childbirth. The best part is that one can book a Skype session for consultation and can avail expert advice from any part of the country on Vaatsalyam. There are a whole lot of questions one may have when deciding to have a baby, and during the months of pregnancy, about childbirth, pain during labour, breastfeeding, and weaning the baby. While there is no dearth of books available on the subject, and there are always well-meaning friends and relatives shelling out advise based on their experiences, most of the advise leaves us either scared or confused. Remember that each pregnancy is unique, and your overall experience depends upon the choices you make, and whether the choices are based on evidence-based information. Vaatsalyam provides a platform where you can get most of your queries answered, get evidence-based information to help make your choices, and to get the much required support during pregnancy and childbirth. Our services include preconception counselling, birth prepration classes, pregnancy yoga, and breastfeeding support. You may decide to take individual classes or join a group where you can interact with people in similar situations as yours, and give and take support thereof. Vaatsalyam endeavours to ensure that pregnancy and childbirth be ecstatic experiences for you, and leave you feeling empowered as a creator of a new life.
