Postpartum Doulas Explained: what they do and why you need one


Listen Later

Ever wonder what exactly a postpartum doula is or does? Why would you need one?


Today we dive into these questions and all kinds of tangents around them. We talk about the the types of support postpartum doulas offer, how to find the right one for you and so much more. You'll also get a peek at some of our personal experiences as new mothers and how support in those first months and year after birth shaped our recovery and transition into motherhood.


Some of the topics we explore in this episode include:

  • finding support on a budget
    • changes in access to postpartum care and coverage
      • when to get a postpartum doula (hint: we will say always) and the benefits of having their support
        • different kinds of support they offer
          • how to find a doula
