Why I Recommend Informed Pregnancy+ (IP+) to My Clients

As a community doula and advocate for perinatal wellness, I’m always looking for trusted, evidence-based resources to support expectant and new parents. Recently, I had the opportunity to explore Informed Pregnancy+ (IP+), a streaming platform created by Dr. Elliot Berlin and the team at Informed Pregnancy Media, and I’m excited to share why it’s such a valuable tool.



What is Informed Pregnancy+?


IP+ is an online platform designed to provide comprehensive, expert-backed information on pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and parenting. It offers video tutorials, interviews with medical professionals, and resources for parents who want reliable guidance in navigating the journey from pregnancy through early parenthood.


Why I Recommend IP+


  1. Evidence-Based Content: Everything on IP+ is carefully curated by experts, ensuring that the information you receive is accurate and up-to-date.


   2.  Accessible Anywhere: Streaming content means clients can access helpful videos and resources from home, on their         

        schedule.


   3.  Supports Informed Decisions: Whether it’s preparing for labor, understanding postpartum recovery, or exploring feeding   

        options, IP+ helps parents feel confident in their choices.


   4.  Resource for Clients: As a doula, I often share trusted educational resources with my clients. IP+ allows me to provide them

        with content that complements the support and guidance I offer during pregnancy and postpartum care.


How to Get Started


I had the chance to explore IP+ myself and can confidently recommend it to my clients. You can start here with a free month of access and see for yourself why it’s such a helpful resource.


For those interested, you can activate a free month using my code SLFREEMO and explore all the features IP+ has to offer.


Final Thoughts


Supporting parents means more than just being present during birth—it also means connecting them with trustworthy, accessible, and expert-backed resources. Informed Pregnancy+ is one such resource, and I’m thrilled to share it with my community.
