Sometimes, support in labor doesn't look like massage or counter pressure or even us being right next to you...
Sometimes it looks like a calm and steady presence, that makes it more comfortable for you because you know it is okay for you to labor how you want inside yourself.
Sometimes it is just a look between contractions, of confidence and calm.
And other times it is just someone there to assure your partner feels comfortable not "fixing things".

As birth doulas, we know our support looks different for everyone and at different points during birth.
We'd love to talk with you any time about how we can help support you and your partner during your birth

It is that time again!
Or should we say, it will be at 2am tomorrow?
🤣

Here's hoping your kiddos get the memo and you get that extra hour of sleep!

10/29/2018

They say that the morning is a chance to start over, face a new day with a refreshed head...
but not if you haven't slept anyhow!

Sleep can be rough those first few days/weeks/months/years, but we can help!

We offer overnight postpartum doula care, so you can rest easy, sleep in late, and wake up really ready to face a new day

We support all birth and part of that is supporting you with visuals and words that speak of your strength and immense power.

Taking home your brand new baby can mean a whole lot of things:
Happiness... to finally be back home
Excitement... to have your baby in your arms
Nervousness, feeling overwhelmed, and... wait... now we have a baby... a WHOLE person for us to keep alive?

We're no strangers to hearing about those first few days and how rough the transition can be. Walking in the door to your home can feel like a wonderful thing, but then you put the baby down and look at each other and think "Oh my goodness, they just sent us home with a baby!"

So, how can we help?

We offer support as soon after birth as you'd like!
Our postpartum doulas can be there to greet you when you get home with a home cooked meal, knowledgeable helping hand, and listening ear.
We have options to have someone there with you 24/7, so even when your "perfect sleeper" decides they don't want to close their eyes, you can get some much needed rest!
We even have options for live-in care, so you'll have a professional there for as long as you need.

We can be there to help support you and your whole family, any time, day or night!

Or maybe you're a grandparent or friend who would love to help out, but because of work schedules and distance, it just isn't possible.Contact us and we can get a package together perfect for your friend or family. We can't replace you, but we can offer professional support to help!

What does your postpartum plan look like?

Wait... you're suppose to have a plan for that too!?

Everyone seems to have a birth plan, but a postpartum plan?
Your time after birth with your new baby is going to be a huge season of change and for many people it takes them by surprise. Not just the lack of sleep, but all the emotions, shifting roles, loneliness, and new things to figure out, there's a lot that happens!
So, why not have a solid plan in place with people you can count on, meals prepped, and professional support to help you navigate it all?

We can help with it all:
Everything from getting a plan together to meal prepping and planning, getting you some extra sleep, and even an adult to talk to during the day!

Your birth plan is important, but your postpartum plan can be even more important.
Let's get a plan in place to make sure you're feeling confident and prepared:

I remember standing in the bathroom alone, just a week after my bouncing baby boy was born.
I was going to take a shower, so I had taken my clothes off.
I looked in the mirror and just started crying.
My body was not the same.
I mean, I kind of knew, but this was the first time I'd really looked.
There was my scar, still red and my flabby mess of a stomach, and my face, I was just so tired.
"Is this my life now?" I thought.
Scared and messy...
A trickle of blood ran down my leg, "crap!"
I wiped it up with a bit of toilet paper.
Then my eyes went back to my stomach, I poked it.
"Is this normal?"

Then I heard the baby.
So much for that shower, eh?
I put my clothes back on, the same ones I'd been wearing for 3 days now, changed my pad, and walked out of the bathroom to feed the baby.

Such was my life for a while.
For a couple months. After every one of my babies.
And those cries for food, just multiplied.
I felt so alone, like all the time.
Sure I knew people with babies, but everyone looked so put together, what was I doing wrong?
....

Why do we do what we do as postpartum doulas?
Not because we alone can change this narrative, those inside feelings run deep, but because we can and do make a difference:
We can hold your baby so you can take a shower and feel like a new person.
We can hold your hand and lend our shoulder and look you in the eyes and tell you that we understand and it is okay.
We can get up with the baby during the night, so you can get just a little more sleep, so the day doesn't seem so heavy.
We can help you get out of the house, so being alone all day every day doesn't turn in to a habit of isolation.
We can watch your other kids, so the guilt of not spending time with one of them doesn't add up.
We can help make dinner and plan out meals, so when 5pm rolls around and everyone is "starving" you don't have to worry about it.
There is so much we can do.
....

I wish I'd known then, what I know now:
That I didn't have to be alone.
That there was someone to help.
That there was someone to tell me it was normal and things would be okay.
The impact of a postpartum doula for our whole family.

HAPPY WORLD DOULA WEEK!
This is the week we celebrate ourselves and our clients, the reason we do the work we do.

In honor of this week, we are going to be doing a series of posts highlighting different things we, as Doulas of Greater Lafayette, do!
Postpartum support, labor support, pregnancy support... we've got you covered!

What we do #1:
We, as , provide meal prep and help to ensure you are eating meals and snacks. It sounds silly, but as new parents, many people often just plain forget to eat. Having someone not only there to help remind you to have a snack, but meals and snacks prepped ready to go can be a total game changer.
HANGRY, no more!

03/01/2018

When is it too early to hire a doula?
NEVER!
When is it too late to hire a doula?
NEVER!

We get asked these questions all the time and because of our team, we really can provide support with any notice.

Due tomorrow and realize you'd love to add a birth doula to your team?
Have your baby last week and realize some overnight help would be amazing?
Working on getting pregnant?
We'll be there for it all!

Get in touch with us and we'll chat about your specific situation and how we can help.
