Postpartum Support
Comprehensive postpartum support for your physical healing, feeding success, newborn care, and emotional wellbeing.
Postpartum is often called the "fourth trimester.” It’s a profound transition time that deserves as much support as pregnancy and birth.
Yet often, support often disappears right when you need it most.
In order to feel confident and supported as you navigate early parenthood, you need comprehensive postpartum support that addresses your physical recovery, feeding success, newborn care skills, and emotional wellbeing—not just quick check-ups focused solely on your baby.
Through postpartum visits from your doula, you'll receive in-home support to help you thrive in early parenthood, not just survive.
What happens during postpartum doula visits?
Your postpartum visits focus entirely on you and your wellbeing (not just your baby).
In the comfort of your home:
You'll have time to talk about how you're really doing physically, emotionally, and mentally.
Your body's healing gets proper attention, whether you had a vaginal or cesarean birth, with guidance on what's normal in your recovery versus what needs medical follow-up, plus holistic practices that support your healing.
If feeding feels challenging (whether breastfeeding, formula feeding, or combination), you'll get hands-on help troubleshooting pain, positioning, latch issues, or supply concerns without any judgment about your choices.
You'll learn practical newborn care skills through demonstration and practice.
Just as importantly, your emotional experience gets validated and supported.
You'll have space to process your birth experience, talk about unexpected feelings you're having, and understand whether what you're experiencing falls within normal adjustment or signals postpartum depression or anxiety that needs additional support.
What You Gain with Postpartum Doula Support
Validation that your recovery matters
Someone actually checks on you: your healing, your pain levels, and your emotional state. Not just whether the baby is gaining weight.
Understanding what's normal versus concerning
You know when bleeding, pain, or emotions fall within typical postpartum versus when you need to call your provider.
Processing your birth experience
Space to talk about what happened, validate your feelings, and integrate this profound experience rather than burying it.
Connection to additional resources when needed
If you need a lactation consultant for complex issues, a pelvic floor therapist, or a perinatal mental health provider, you get connected rather than trying to figure it out alone.
Your partner doesn't feel helpless
They have guidance on supporting you, managing visitors, and caring for baby, reducing relationship strain during an already stressful time.
Tools for managing postpartum stress and overwhelm
Breathwork, meditation, and other practices adapted for early parenthood when you have no time.
The ability to ask "embarrassing" questions
Safe space to ask about mesh underwear, hemorrhoids, painful sex, intrusive thoughts, or anything else you're afraid to bring up
Your emotional experience is validated
Whether you feel instant love or it takes time, whether you're joyful or grieving your old life, all feelings are acknowledged as valid
