Postpartum Planning
As your doula I can help you make a comprehensive plan for your postpartum period. We will prepare you for the challenges of parenthood in a prenatal appointment where you’ll go over all the changes a new baby can bring.
Why do I need a Postpartum Plan?
Just a like a birth plan, a postpartum plan is a good way of managing expectations for this exciting time. The postpartum period can be frustrating and just as scary as the birthing process itself. Going through different scenarios before your birth and making a plan can help you be prepared when the time arrives.
What do I include in a Postpartum Plan?
Postpartum Expectations
In a Postpartum plan we’ll include certain goals and expectations of all family members for the postpartum period and what can be done to achieve those goals.
HELP from Friends and Family
We talk about possibilities how family and friends can help out during this time of adjustment.
Time Management
We discuss time management and what to expect in these first few weeks and months after birth.
Healing Process
I will prepare you for what to expect in terms of healing your body from your birth and will suggest numerous ways for making your healing process easier.
Ask you Doula…
Your Doula can help you create a Postpartum Plan during one of your prenatal appointments. She will come with a pre-made template that you can use during your whole postpartum period.
