自己紹介
こんにちは！
初めまして、助産師えりです
夫の海外赴任に伴い、2023年末アメリカ カリフォルニア州のベイエリアに来ました。
ピクニック、テニス、旅行など、とにかく外に出ることが好きです。読書するのも外の公園でするほどです。
これまで日本で培った助産師としての知識と経験を活かして自分に何かできないか．．と考え、出産・産後ドゥーラとして活動することを決めました。
主な活動範囲はクパチーノ市から車で約１時間前後の移動距離までです。
About me
Hello, and welcome to my website!
I came to Bay Area, California on New Years Eve 2023 with my family.
I love the weather here, and spend time outdoors as much as I can; picnics, playing tennis, going on trips...
I worked in hospital as a certified nurse midwife in Japan for several years, then worked in community health, at child wellness centres.
Unfortunately, as I do not have a license to work in California yet, I cannot be a CNM here. I missed helping families navigate the wonderful and sacred journey to parenthood, and decided to become a Birth & Postpartum Doula.
I mainly work in Santa Clara County, up to approx. 1 hour drive radius from my house.
サービス/Doula care
出産ドゥーラ
妊娠中に1-2回（1−2時間ほど）、陣痛開始から出産後1時間まで、産後１回（30分ほど）の合計3-４回訪問します。
妊娠中：バースプランの作成や妊娠中のこと、出産や育児の準備についてお話しします。
陣痛開始後：ご連絡いただき、ご自宅または出産する病院や施設に伺います。出産までずっと一緒にいます。
産後：産後1−７日目の間にご自宅へ訪問し、出産の振り返りを行い、様子を伺います。
出産に至るまでいつでも質問ができるように連絡先をお伝えします。気軽にご質問してください。また、出産時の緊急連絡先もお伝えします。
Birth doula
I will visit you once or twice during pregnancy(1-2 hours), help you during labour up to 1 hour after birth, one visit after birth (30 mins), total of 3-4 visits as a birth doula.
Prenatal visit: Help with creating birth plan, guide you on how to get through pregnancy and advise on preparation for labour, delivery and postpartum.
During labour: After your labour has started, and you want me to be with you, I will provide care according to you birth plan whether it is your home, birthing centre or hospital.
Postpartum visit: I will visit to see how mum and baby are doing after being discharged from hospital. Also we will talk about birth if you would like to, and clarify anything you would like to. This can be 1-7 days after birth.
I will give you my contact details so you can message me if you have any questions you would like to ask anytime until the birth of your baby. I will also give you my number for emergencies.
産後ドゥーラ、母乳育児支援
Postpartum Doula
出産後から産後４ヶ月までの間、授乳、沐浴、おむつ替えなどの育児手技のサポートから
料理、掃除など家事の全般的なサポートを行うことができます。
ご希望に応じケアの内容を調整いたします。
例えば：
・母乳育児支援のみ希望（赤ちゃんの体重が問題なく増えているか確認、授乳方法が大丈夫か、ミルクを追加した方がいいか、追加する場合どれくらいがいいかなど）
・日中の休息のため、その間の赤ちゃんのお世話希望
・サポートの方がおらず、簡単な家事など身の回りのお世話希望
１回１時間から引き受けております。
ご家庭の状況/ご要望に合わせてサポート内容や時間を決められますのでご相談ください。
＊産後４ヶ月以降であっても、空き状況によってはサポートいたします。
The services I offer as a Postpartum Doula ranges from newborn care (such as breast/bottle feeding, bathing, changing nappies) to household chores (such as cooking, cleaning and shopping for groceries) right after birth to around 4 months postpartum.
I will tailor my care depending on you, for example:
-You just want to know if baby is growing as they should, if there's anything wrong with latching and suckling, if you want to use formula, you just want to know the right amount
-You want to rest during daytime, so you want someone to care for your baby while you get much needed shut-eye
-Your relatives cannot come, so you need someone to help with basic household chores while you concentrate on baby
My services start from 1 hour at a time. Please contact me on details of what you would like from me and I will let you know of services I can and cannot provide.
