What does a postpartum doula do?
A postpartum doula offers physical, emotional, informational, and hands-on support to new Mothers and their families during the postpartum period, often called the fourth trimester/ ‘The Golden Month’. Postpartum doulas are there, essentially, to mother the new parents and hold their hand through this life-changing transition. In many cultures around the World they see Postpartum as a Sacred time for the Mother to recuperate and be nourished during this huge life change.
In many countries in South and Central America, new mums/parents are cared for by a traditional midwife or partera during the postnatal period. The midwife provides massages and herbal remedies to help with recovery and healing. I feel grateful to have learnt this wisdom. The benefits of having a postpartum doula are vast. Research has shown that postpartum doulas can increase self confidence, kerb depression slumps, supporting with the shift in identity from Maiden to Mother.
