The Ultimate Guide to Preparing for a Baby in Pittsburgh | Pittsburgh Baby Photographer

Preparing for a baby in Pittsburgh with trusted resources, local support, and where to start—because you don’t have to do this alone.

Whether you’re brand new to Pittsburgh or entering a new season of motherhood, finding the right local support can feel like a full-time job. Between pregnancy appointments, nursery prep, and figuring out where to give birth or take a newborn class—it’s a lot.

And if you’re anything like most moms I work with, you’re probably Googling “best pelvic floor therapist near me” at 11 PM while balancing a heating pad and a snack. Sound familiar?

That’s exactly why I created the Local Resource Guide for Pittsburgh Moms—to help you stop the endless searching and start feeling supported.

📍 Where Do I Even Start? How do I prepare for my baby in Pittsburgh?

If you’re in your third trimester, here’s where I recommend beginning:

1. Line up postpartum support now

You may not need lactation help yet, but knowing who to call makes all the difference when those first days get tough.

2. Book your newborn photos

This part is so easy to forget—but it goes fast. I specialize in in-home, full-service newborn sessions where I bring everything to you—styling, wraps, hair and makeup, and even snacks. All you need to do is cuddle your baby.

3. Prepare your body (and your pelvic floor)

From preparing your pelvis for birth to healing postpartum, pelvic floor therapy is one of the best gifts you can give yourself.
