Postpartum Support

You've just arrived home with your newborn, and the only thing more raw than your emotions are your nipples.

 

Now what??

​

Although it may feel completely new, this hazy and uncertain time is an extension of pregnancy, labor, and birth. Your body may still look and feel pregnant. You may be exhausted and healing from an incision while trying to figure out how to feed and care for your newborn. Some muscles might feel like mush, while others feel contorted and tight. 

​

During this time, it might feel like every answer leads to even more questions.

​

• What does it look like down there? 

• When was the last time I brushed my teeth?

• Why am I bleeding? 

• Is my baby breathing? 

• Why am I so hungry? 

• Did I drink enough water today? 

• Why are they crying so much? 

• Is their poop supposed to be that color? 

• Will I ever feel like myself again? 

• What is that smell? 

• Am I a good parent?

​

In real time we will explore and implement strategies that support: 

​

• Your parenting philosophies

• Your physical recovery from birth

• Your emotional well-being and recovery

• Your choices regarding infant feeding

• Comforting and soothing your baby

• Healthful nutrition

• Sleep! Did we say sleep?! Yes, we even help with sleep!

​

We understand that it's difficult to know exactly what you'll need while you recover from birth and care for your baby.

 

Anticipating your personal needs and helping you navigate your experience is our expertise. 

​

Postpartum recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Your carefully selected doula is there for you, sitting by your side on that emotional rollercoaster as you go from highs of unmatched elation and joy, to lows of anxiety and fear.

 

Don't do this alone. We're just a phone call (or email) away. 

​

For daytime postpartum doula support, we offer a minimum of 4 hour shifts per day. For overnight support, we offer 8 hour shifts. And, for some, adjusting to a new baby while managing a busy home schedule requires round-the-clock assistance.

 

We're here for it! Contact us today!
