Your body already knows how to do this. Let's help you trust it.

Mind the Bump helps expecting and postpartum women move through the transition to motherhood with less fear, more confidence, and a nervous system that actually feels safe.

What Is Mind the Bump?

Mind the Bump is a fully virtual perinatal education and nervous system coaching brand founded by Abigail — a certified doula, childbirth educator, and public health professional. Our work is rooted in one simple but powerful idea: that fear and anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum are normal, but suffering through them doesn't have to be. Through nervous system education, somatic tools, and personalized support, we help you build a felt sense of safety in your body so you can show up for your birth and your baby from a grounded place.

Who This Is For

Mind the Bump might be exactly what you've been looking for if…

  • You're pregnant and can't shake a baseline of tension or anxiety — even when everything looks fine on paper

  • You're trying to conceive and want to build your foundation before the stakes feel higher

  • You have a history of trauma, adverse childhood experiences, or a previous difficult birth — and you want this one to feel different

  • You're neurodivergent and know that transitions hit differently for you — and you need support that actually gets that

  • You carry anxiety as a baseline and you're wondering what that's going to mean for labor

  • You've done the classes, read the books, and still don't feel ready in your body

  • You want more than logistics — you want to feel genuinely prepared from the inside out

  • You're postpartum and something feels off, even if you can't quite name what

The Nervous System Audit (free)

Think of this less as a product and more as a starting point — a free, 10-minute self-assessment that gives you language for what your body has already been trying to tell you. You'll identify your nervous system baseline, how stress and fear are showing up physically, and where to focus your preparation for the biggest impact. It's a great thing to do before our call so we can hit the ground running.

Free. No catch. Just clarity.

Ready to Go Deeper? This Is the Main Thing:

Foundations of Safety Package ($425 or $150/month x 3)

Three 90-minute virtual sessions built around one central idea: most birth prep focuses on logistics — this focuses on your nervous system. You'll learn to understand your personal stress response pattern, build the embodied skills to move with your body in labor rather than against it, and leave with a completed Nervous System Birth Plan and a map of what your Labor Land looks like. Includes private messaging support between sessions and a complimentary postpartum check-in.

This is the work. Book a discovery call to see if it's the right fit — or secure your spot directly.

Why a Discovery Call?

A discovery call is a free, no-pressure 30-minute conversation where we get to figure out whether working together makes sense. You'll leave with more clarity about what kind of support you need — whether that's with me or somewhere else. There's no pitch, no obligation, and no script. Just a real conversation about where you are and where you want to be.

About The Founder

Hi, I'm Abigail — the founder of Mind the Bump, a certified doula, childbirth educator, and Public Health Professional. My work is shaped by my own journey of discovering my neurodivergence and doing the deep personal work of learning to trust my body after years of chronic dysregulation. I know firsthand how much it takes to unlearn the patterns that keep us braced — and I built Mind the Bump to offer the support I know is missing in the birth space. My approach is warm, direct, evidence-backed, and completely shame-free.

Testimonials

Abigail is an amazing and calm presence. Not only did she guide me through preparing for my second birth, but she went above and beyond to emotionally support me when my support system fell apart. Labor is mental and physical, and I knew I could count on her for everything related to my birth. I was never judged for how I needed help, and I highly suggest utilizing her services if you need judgement free support!

Abigail guided us through our third birth and my husband and I agree that this Birth was the best because of her! She is so gentle and informed and we would highly recommend her to anyone!

Our family had an amazing experience with Abigail. She has blessed our family more than she knows! From pregnancy to birth and postpartum, Abigail was there for us every step of the way. From the moment my husband and I met her, we immediately felt supported. She is incredibly caring, PATIENT, and truly invested in the families she works with. This was my second pregnancy, and after experiencing birth trauma with my first, I was hoping for a non medicated birth this time. The knowledge she shared, the time she spent helping us prepare, and her support throughout the entire process were truly PRICELESS!!! Abigail genuinely cares and wants the very best for your family. I highly recommend her! She has now become part of our family! ❤️
