What Postpartum Doula Care May Look Like for You

There are no minimum number of days/nights.  Maybe you just need one night of sleep to get you caught up.  Maybe you have to care for other children during the day and want a good night sleep every night! Or maybe just knowing someone will be there two nights a week will help you power through.  Here are some examples of schedules:

Smooth Transition

Get the help you need to maintain order in the home while you recover and gradually get used to your new household dynamic. Kids will be fed and nurtured, dog will be walked, plants watered, laundry done and dinner on the table!  

  • Postpartum Week One - 3 days postpartum doula care (4 hour shift)
  • Postpartum Week Two - 2 days postpartum doula care (4 hour shift)
  • Postpartum Week Three - 1 day postpartum doula care (4 hour shift)

Over the Hump

Sometimes it helps to get through those sleepless nights if you know that someone will be there to help you the next night.   

We suggest alternating nights or doing 2 yourself, then 1 with the doula. Let's avoid getting into a sleep deficit!

Payment Arrangements

You will make payment arrangements directly with your doula. Payments are collected prior to service and a 2-week deposit with contract is collected for regular services.

Doulas starting/ending their shift on a holiday will charge $35/hour for the entire shift.  Details are outlined in the contract.

 

Add Postpartum Doula services to your baby registry! It's a great baby shower gift idea!

Perinatal Loss

Pregnancy loss is unexpected and usually sudden. Please take a moment to read our page on perinatal loss so that you can learn more about prevention, and where to turn if you find yourself experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth or your baby has been given a life-limiting diagnosis.
