Hey, I’m april

Hey there! I’m April Messer—a doula, certified placenta specialist, postpartum meal prep pro, and lover of all things sweet.

I’m part of the amazing team at Fargo Birth, and I’m so excited you’re here. Supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is one of my greatest passions. Whether you're planning an unmedicated birth, a medicated delivery, VBAC, or cesarean—your experience matters, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

I became a doula because I believe every birthing person deserves to feel empowered, informed, and cared for. Your birth story is unique, and so is the kind of support you need. I’ll be by your side to guide you through your options, offer hands-on support, and help you and your partner feel confident, calm, and ready.

In addition to birth support, I also offer placenta encapsulation, prints, and cord keepsakes, as well as postpartum meal prep services to help you ease into life with baby with a little more rest and a lot more nourishment. I’ve even completed a sleep training course, so if you find yourself desperate for answers (or just sleep), I’ve got you covered.

Truth is, I’ve got a few extra skills up my sleeve—because sometimes, birth and postpartum need more than just the basics. I’m here to fill in those gaps with care, experience, and a whole lot of heart.

I can’t wait to meet you!

let’s doula this!
