Many of us spend a lot of time preparing for pregnancy, labour, and birth but we tend to neglect putting equal care into preparing for the postpartum period. This creates certain challenges, especially considering the postpartum period is relatively much longer and requires taking care of your newborn and yourself! This is where a postpartum doula can help.
Join Dr. Alicia and Brittany Porter, Postpartum Doula and founder of Birth & Beyond, as they discuss the different roles of postpartum doulas, what they can do for you, when to contact one, and much more!
NOTE: Apologies for the bad quality sound for about 20 seconds, from min 1:41 to 2:00! It clears up for the rest of the episode.
Reach out to Brittany Porter at her website or Birth and Beyond to learn more about her services, as well as the many collectives she is a part of such as The Nesting Doula Collective which offers doula services to Black, Indigenous and People of Color through a pay-it-forward model and community support, as well as The Doulas Aboriginal Family Grant Program.
Or find a postpartum doula through DoulaMatch or Doulas International!
