Moms Matter Too - doula services.

10/12/2023

Postpartum doula care can look really different, depending on the doula and the needs of the family being served! Here is what postpartum doula Maryjane Wagenschein of Moms Matter Too - doula services. has to say:

"Postpartum doula care definitely ranges depending on the individual needs of my clients, however some things I personally bring into my care are
• keeping extra postpartum needs and supplies on hand for moms in need
• light house work
• overnight care
• free services (or highly discounted) to young moms or moms with over 3 children!
• help with finding resources for childcare or pediatricians if necessary
• emotional support
• letting mom take a shower while I handle baby (or the kids) so she can have a well deserved break
• helping with little task around the home (think dishes sweeping small loads of laundry)
• watching any older kids so mom and dad can bond with baby alone."

I often get asked why I do what I do….

There is no simple way to put it besides this….

I had my son with no support system besides my immediate family.. it was horrible I gave up on breastfeeding I never got
To shower or clean my home… or if I did I lost time with my precious baby…

Going through pregnancy with no one else checking on me… wanting to know how I was…

It was always “how’s the baby” or “do you feel him moving…? Can I feel?!”

Never “hey do you need to take a shower? I can come take care of the KIDS for you” or “hey do you want a warm meal?? I just got done cooking dinner and I could bring some by and see YOU”

So that is why I do what I do… no mother should experience this alone… every mother deserves a beautiful experience… not just pregnancy or labor but both!! And even postpartum..

It’s all so hard… I wouldn’t wish doing it alone on anyone.

Im here for YOU for DAD for the other KIDS and your NEW bundle of joy.

My passion is making sure other people are happy and taken care of… when I leave your house or your doctor appointment… I want you to leave with a smile on your face and well relaxed so that you can be the BEST mother to your children!!!

Please… If you are expecting a new little one soon… reach out!! I’d be happy to help!

In todays society this something we as moms are constantly worried about… looking over our shoulders.
Love this idea

I've read so many posts about being watched, followed or creeped out by people in our local stores. Having 2 littles that are over friendly, talkative and unaware that people might try to steal them from their momma I try not to go out alone with them. I like one on one defense! I have my license to carry but here is my other tip. Clip the kid to the cart! Belt loop and carabiner! This is not noticeable so if someone grabs while walking by they get caught up.

Today I had the pleasure of working with a beautiful 15 day old baby girl!!!

I’m so passionate about what I do.. anytime with little ones fills such a hole in my heart and then going home and knowing I was able to make a moms day alittle easier, alittle better.

I’ve come so far on this journey and I can’t wait to keep it going!!! ❤️❤️

Yes… men get it too…

The first two years after having a kid are the hardest on your marriage. Reach out for help, communicate with your partner ❤️❤️

One in 10 new dads has postpartum depression, but there’s not even an accepted diagnosis for the condition.

Let’s talk about animals and brining a new baby home….

Animals are jealous!!! They were your baby before the new one you are bringing home so you need to treat it just like you would if your brining home a new animal.

Take it slow
Understand there will be an adjustment period
Hire someone to help

If you need help reach out to me!! I’m available to come help in so many different ways!!
Free of charge!!
