“We don't have to do all of it alone.
We were never meant to."
– BRENE BROWN
The Fourth Trimester
You’ve spent all your time planning and prepping for the birth of your baby, but now it’s time to start thinking about life with your baby. Building strong support systems and making a postpartum plan (you know, like a birth plan for the fourth trimester) can ensure that your family has the best start possible. A Postpartum Doula can be a part of that plan. I can be there to do many jobs, but to name a few, I can do light household chores, help with older siblings, go shopping for you, and even meal prep a few dinners for you. My most important job though, is the care and support of you and your baby. I am there to make sure you are rested, bathed, nourished, doted on, and relaxed.
I can make sure your household runs smooth while you take the time you need to heal and bond with your baby. It will be as though I am your personal assistant, who just happens to also be an expert in birth, babies, and everything in between.
A few things hiring a Postpartum Doula has been found to do:
- Decrease stress and anxiety, no mommy meltdowns on my watch!
- Increase the success rate of breastfeeding
- Increase confidence in caring for the baby (you know, that darn mom guilt)
- INCREASE SLEEP for everyone
- Easier transition and help through the intense identity shift of becoming a mother
- & so, so, so much more!
Postpartum support is especially imperative for cesarean mothers. A cesarean is major abdominal surgery. Major abdominal surgery that has you being sent home from the hospital after two days with a newborn. You won’t be moving around much. Simple everyday tasks and even holding and caring for your newborn may be overwhelming and painful. Having an extra set of hands around those first few days could make all the difference in your healing process.
Every mother deserves to have the finest support during their postpartum recovery so you can thrive with your newborn, not just survive.

Pro Tip:
The best time to hire a your postpartum support team is while you are pregnant. This is includes a Postpartum Doula like myself, but also an IBCLC if you plan to breastfeed. Meeting with us before baby is born and having everything all set up ahead of time, will help ensure a smooth transition into the fourth trimester.
