POSTPARTUM DOULA SUPPORT

Postpartum Doula | Childbirth Educator | Lactation Counselor in-training

POSTPARTUM PLANNING, HEALING AND SUPPORT

Have you ever done a 24-hour-a-day job before? Where you have to wake up every two hours? Without a break? Or any days off. And did you start this job immediately after undergoing a painful, major medical procedure? Where you might have lost a lot of blood, and/or been injected with prescription drugs? AND did this job involve a major, irreversible change in your role in life, with serious emotional ramifications?

— Kate Evans, cited by Sophie Massager in Why Postnatal Recover Matters
