About the Service
Why Pregnancy Coaching?
Traditional prenatal care does not involve health, nutrition, exercise, or emotional or social support and often looks at the numbers for baby and mother and not the whole person, leaving mothers feeling worried, uncomfortable, and unsure who to turn to for support they can trust.
Pregnancy coaching can help fill in the gaps, complementing and enhancing the care you receive from your doctor or midwife, and provide both the individual and community support that is often missing for pregnant people.
Do I still need my doctor, midwife, doula, etc.?
The short answer is yes.
Pregnancy coaching is not meant to replace your prenatal care or your labor support. Pregnancy coaching is meant to complement and enhance the care you are receiving to help you have a happier, healthier experience.
Is pregnancy coaching right for you?
We help women get the health, emotional, and social support they need to be able to confidently move forward and have a pregnancy they love!
It is especially helpful for:
- first-time moms

- women looking for support they can trust during their pregnancies
- people looking for a network of other health-minded pregnant moms
- Women who know that their physical and emotional health and well-being will make a difference for themselves and their unborn child.

What is pregnancy coaching?
Pregnancy coaching is personalized, non-medical support that helps you navigate pregnancy with more confidence, knowledge, and peace of mind. It focuses on the whole person's physical well-being, nutrition, emotional health, lifestyle, and preparation for birth and postpartum. Instead of short medical appointments, coaching provides ongoing access to guidance, education, and encouragement throughout your pregnancy journey.
How is it different from medical care?
Medical providers monitor your health and your baby’s development, diagnose conditions, and provide clinical treatment when needed. Pregnancy coaching does not diagnose or treat medical issues. Instead, it supports the everyday decisions and concerns that arise between appointments: what to eat, how to manage stress, how to prepare for labor, how to advocate for yourself, and how to feel more in control of your experience.
Do I still need an OB or midwife?
Yes. Pregnancy coaching is designed to complement your existing medical care, not replace it. You should continue regular prenatal visits with your OB, midwife, or healthcare provider. Coaching works alongside that care to help you better understand recommendations, prepare questions, and feel supported every step of the way.
Logistics
Is the coaching virtual?
Yes. Most services are delivered virtually, allowing you to receive consistent support from the comfort of your home. Virtual care makes it easier to stay connected, ask questions as they arise, and maintain continuity even with a busy schedule.
Can I join from outside Colorado?
Absolutely. Although Loving My Pregnancy is based in Denver, CO, clients participate from across the United States. Because coaching is non-medical and primarily virtual, location is not a barrier to receiving support.
How long does support last?
Support typically continues throughout pregnancy and into early postpartum, depending on the level of service you choose. This ensures you are not only supported during pregnancy but also during the critical adjustment period after your baby arrives.
When should I start?
You can begin at any stage of pregnancy. Many women start in the first trimester to focus on prevention and healthy habits early, while others join later when they realize they want more support or face unexpected challenges. It is never too late to benefit from guidance.
Safety & Credibility
Can coaching help prevent complications?
Coaching focuses on education, healthy habits, and early awareness — all of which can support a healthier pregnancy. While no service can guarantee prevention of complications, guidance on nutrition, lifestyle, stress management, and recognizing warning signs can help you make proactive choices and seek care promptly when needed.
What if I am considered high-risk?
Many women with higher-risk pregnancies find coaching especially valuable. You will still rely on your medical team for clinical care, but coaching can provide emotional support, additional education, and help navigating complex information or decisions. The goal is to help you feel calmer, informed, and supported rather than overwhelmed.
Do you communicate with my doctor?
Pregnancy coaching does not replace or interfere with your medical providers. Communication with your healthcare team can occur if appropriate and with your permission, but the primary focus is supporting you directly so you can collaborate effectively with your providers.
Financial
Is pregnancy coaching covered by insurance?
Pregnancy coaching is typically not covered by insurance because it is a non-medical service. It is considered an educational and support service rather than healthcare treatment.
Do you accept HSA or FSA funds?
Many clients are able to use Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), depending on their plan. It is best to check with your provider to confirm eligibility.
Are payment plans available?
Flexible payment options are often available to make support accessible. The goal is to reduce financial stress so you can focus on your health and well-being during pregnancy.
Enrollment
How do I sign up?
The first step is scheduling a complimentary consultation. This conversation allows you to ask questions, share your goals or concerns, and determine whether pregnancy coaching feels like the right fit for you.
What happens during the consultation?
During the consultation, you will discuss your current stage of pregnancy, any specific challenges or priorities, and the type of support you’re looking for. You will also learn about available service levels and receive guidance on which option may best meet your needs. There is no obligation—the purpose is simply to help you make an informed decision.
Pregnancy can be joyful, overwhelming, exciting, and uncertain all at once. You do not have to navigate it alone. If you are ready for personalized guidance, reassurance, and expert support that complements your medical care, call Loving My Pregnancy in Denver, CO, at (720) 605-2333 to schedule your complimentary consultation and take the next step toward a calmer, more confident pregnancy experience.
