This is a question I’m asked a lot. Pretty much every time someone asks me what I do. I’m always hesitant to answer the question of what a postpartum doula does because it’s a bit like the question ‘how long is a piece of string’. Well, perhaps the options are slightly narrower as a postpartum doula but you get my gist! Similar to my experience when choosing a Midwife or choosing an osteopath, they are not all created equally. That’s not to say that one is better or worst than the other, more that the things that appeal to one mother regarding postpartum support may not appeal to another. We are all drawn to different things, different types of people and different approaches. That’s just life. So it’s important when considering postpartum support to find someone that you feel comfortable with.
