Here to talk about the unique challenges that come from pregnancy and postpartum with multiples is the founder of Gold Coast Doulas, Kristin Revere.

 

In this episode we explore:

 

- What exactly is a doula and how can doulas be helpful for expecting and postpartum parents, especially for those with multiples?

 

- Understanding the emotional, physical, and logistical stress associated with having twins or triplets.

 

- Resources that are available and insurance coverage options broken down for those seeking access to doula care (whether you're having one baby or more).

 

- A framework—including the most important questions to ask—when looking for a doula that can meet your family's unique needs and best support you.

 

- The difference between a night nurse and a postpartum doula and what to consider to determine what type of care would be best for your family.

 

- Baby registry tips, postpartum strategies, and what an average day with a doula supporting multiples may look like.

 

If you've ever wondered what a doula does and how they can help, especially if you're expecting multiples, this conversation is for you!
