Why hire a postpartum doula?
Hiring a postpartum doula is an investment in your well-being.
The tender 4th trimester is often a time of not only great joy but also overwhelm and sleep deprivation. A postpartum doula makes that period easier because she is someone you can depend on and who will be a presence of professional, non-judgemental support when you need it most. Not only does she provide educational and trustworthy care of your infant, but she is also someone who you can rely on to nurture you, the mom, and ensure you are resting and being cared for so you can recover as quickly and smoothly as possible. She is the person who will complete the to-do list that’s keeping you up at night and the person who can answer the plethora of questions that arise during the often chaotic and sleep-deprived postpartum period. She will listen to you and support you. She will care for your infant so you can shower, eat, and care for yourself. She fills the gaps of things that need tending to from the infant, to the mother, to the household care. Research has shown that hiring a postpartum doula greatly reduces the risk of postpartum mood disorders and stresses. The extra set of hands of a knowledgeable and experienced postpartum doula means that much.
