Start with the client's goals

A note on scope: Nesting Co. is an optional planning and reflection tool. It does not diagnose, triage, or treat. Clients should direct symptoms, urgent questions, and medical decisions to their licensed care team.

Ask what would make the weeks between visits feel more manageable. Some clients want a checklist, some want a place for questions, and others prefer no tracking at all. Present Nesting Co. as one optional resource rather than a requirement or a measure of how well someone is preparing.

Use notes to support conversations

Invite clients to jot down questions, preferences, and practical tasks they want to revisit. At a prenatal conversation, they can choose which notes to bring forward. You do not need access to the client's entire record, and clients should never feel pressured to share private information.

When a note describes a symptom, redirect the client to their clinician instead of interpreting it. Your role is to offer emotional, physical, and informational support while keeping medical assessment with the licensed care team.

Make the introduction simple

Show one relevant feature, explain how to find the app's privacy and support information, and let the client decide. A short invitation works well: “This is an optional place to keep planning notes between visits. Use only what feels useful, and bring health questions to your care team.” Revisit the choice later without assuming continued use.
