😱WOW!!!! WHEN I SAY I CRIED TEARS OF HAPPINESS FOR THIS MOM Im NOT LYING!

In other countries and cultures, the postpartum period is valued and the new mother is well taken care of for WEEKS after birth! Why is it that the American culture is to abandon the mom, only care about the new baby, and only days after birth the new mom has to do it all! A lot of moms I’ve spoken to have never even heard of a postpartum doula. This video said it best, that these cultural practices are to PREVENT illnesses vs the American way of curative healthcare, which a lot of times is just bandaging an even bigger problem.

This video was WONDERFUL and so informative and if you watch it and make it to the end, I hope you share with other moms, to normalize bringing this sort of care into the homes of every new mom!

Postpartum Doulas are an amazing asset. Unfortunately in our country, it’s a luxury. I want to help every new mom like this lady in this video. This should be talked about more and we definitely need to make this be a normal part of the postpartum journey. Please enjoy! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What is the most important part of your postpartum journey to you? Bonding, breastfeeding, education, something else, and why?

13/07/2022

Preparing for birth is super fun and exciting! Buying baby clothes, and gadgets, dreaming of baby showers and the way your delivery may go. Writing a birth plan to give to your nurses at the hospital.

Those things are very important and exciting, but do we really plan the postpartum side of birth? Not really! We know who will be there to hold our hand during labor and delivery, but who is gonna hold our hand through the postpartum journey that will last more than a couple of days/hours?

The postpartum period in a new mother’s life will be a precious time of new emotions, and body changes, and even family dynamic changes. Although we know this going in, we don’t have the support lined up to help us through it.

Well meaning visitors are coming in to ‘help’ but do they really help? After making a birth plan, lets make a postpartum plan, that includes people and resources that we will need during the most vulnerable times of out lives. Add a postpartum doula to your list of resources and ask for friends and family to support you by adding a postpartum doula package to your baby shower registry. Family can donate to that fund, and contribute to the support you need to help you feel confident and blissful during your postpartum journey!

Message me to find out how its done, and to set up a free consultation to find out how I can guide you though your postpartum journey!
