How can a postpartum doula help your family?

Postpartum is defined by some as the fourth trimester, and as something that lasts forever, because once your baby is born you will have always gone through the experience of pregnancy and childbirth. Postpartum is a beautiful time but it isn’t without challenges. Sleep deprivation, healing, emotional and physical changes, and learning about your new baby are all happening simultaneously. Having support during this time, whether it’s Doula support or support from family can help all of these transitions happen smoothly.
