Postnatal Doula Support:
Postnatal doula support in cornwall
Having some further support during those early days post-birth can help you recover and take the stress of other jobs away allowing you to purely focus on yourself and your baby. Not many people have heard of a postnatal doula and in-fact may believe they don't deserve or even need this kind of support. Well, I am here to tell you that is quite the opposite.
​
As a new mother, you experience a whole other level of 'what the heck am I doing?' and 'who the heck am I?' believe me when I say you DESERVE the support. If more people invested in supporting the mother I truly believe there would be less cases of postnatal related mental health issues.
Having someone, like myself, who has experienced birth (twice), breastfeeding (both children), postnatal depression (but come out the other side feeling positive and enjoying parenthood), at your side is invaluable. I feel so passionately about mothering the mother and allowing you to get the support both emotionally and physically that you desere. It is a wonderful thing to be there for families at such a transformative time!
