On this episode: Mothers receive what feels like constant attention in the nine months before labor, whether it’s baby classes, baby showers, a special seat on the subway or people asking to feel your belly.

But, all of a sudden, the terrifying and painful part happens, the baby arrives and you’re thrust into what feels like the unknown.

Doulas are trained, non-medical postpartum experts who act as supporters, educators and cheerleaders, who provide resources and recommendations for your postpartum experience.

In this episode, Sarah is joined by certified postpartum doula and the founder of Major Care, Mandy Major, who talks to us about the importance of postpartum care for the baby and the birth person. They jump into the following topics:

  • Care teams
  • Different types of doula
  • Activities doulas support with
  • Common questions doulas can help with
  • Major Care and the My Fourth app
  • When a postpartum doula is involved, the entire family is healthier, safer, and enjoys an all round better experience.
