After speaking to a postpartum doula client this morning, I was given permission to paraphrase and share her experience with our postpartum doula Wendy:
"Since having the baby, many mornings I wake up for the day with a bit
of dread, knowing I barely slept all night and have so much to do to
take care of my family during the day, wondering how I will make it
through the day with such depleted energy. But today I woke up with a
sense of relief knowing doula Wendy would be here just a little while
after I woke up. I was actually excited
to wake up, knowing I would have practical help, a friend and care for
myself, baby and family today. I almost hired a baby nurse, but am so glad I went with a postpartum doula instead, the support is just completely different. It's like having an extra, experienced
stay at home mom who really understands what me and my family need right
now and is willing to do whatever it is I need. Wendy jumps right in and just knows exactly what needs to be done.
Yesterday when she arrived, I was feeling overwhelmed and totally
crazy. She made me sit down on the couch and she brought me breakfast and
tea, took my baby into the other room, got breakfast served to my other
kids, organized the mess in the dining room and got my daughter off to
school, heavenly. I was really hesitant to hire extra help but I now
realize my kids deserve this extra support, and as hard as it is to say,
I deserve this extra support. Thank you!" -Mom of 3 girls
