When you are freshly postpartum and the world is spinning around you, it can feel heavy and overwhelming and confusing. Questions like,”What do I do next, how do I even hold this tiny little newborn thats been placed on my chest, does he need to eat, etc” can leave you feeling a little intimidated. As your birth doula I want to eliminate some of that intimidation. I want to stay by your side and revel in your new baby with you and help you feel okay when it can feel a bit chaotic in the moments after getting your baby into the world, I want to congratulate you on the amazing job you just did, and I want to support you in next steps. Sometimes that’s helping partner do skin to skin so you can get some food, sometimes that’s lifting baby up and helping you get more comfortable, and sometimes it’s helping you begin your breastfeeding journey if that is one of your goals! Most importantly I’m there to reassure you and to remind you of the power and strength you possess so that you feel more sturdy in the days that follow! These births, every single one of them, are an honor for me to be able to join and I’m grateful every single time for those precious moments postpartum when I get to be there with you as you officially welcome this new baby into your world! Thank you, to all of my amazing clients for affording me the opportunity to be with you in this incredible journey!
