Healing, Health, & Help.
You’ve made it through pregnancy, labor, and birth, and are now in the fourth trimester. Your body is healing, your birth experience is still fresh, and your adjusting to a new role as the caregiver of a newborn baby. The postpartum period is a time of transition and recovery, both physically and emotionally, as your needs and those of your partner/family change and adapt to welcome a new life into the mix.
A postpartum doula provides essential support during this time and allows parents a much needed rest. Whether it’s caring for baby or making sure parents are well nourished and pampered, even just a few hours can make all the difference.
