Nesting In Homebirth Postpartum Support

$700.00

Early support following a homebirth provides rest and empowers mothers and fathers in their role as parents of their newborn. With this service, you receive a complimentary prenatal visit in your home.  Your partner contacts me when you are in labor and your midwife or husband will notify me when your baby has been born.  I will join you withing 2 hours of birth and chat with your midwife about your birth and anything that I need to be aware of.  I will be with you for 12 hours after my arrival.

“Being far from family and overdue, my husband and I decided at the last minute it would be wise to have a post partum doula for after the birth of our fourth child. I’d had a birth doula with my first some years before but never a post partum doula. Oh how I wish I’d done it with all of my children! Marcie was a God-send. She was gentle, insisted on my thorough self care, ensured my older children were managed and well directed, my house was kept tidy and she ensured that I was eating nourishing meals and getting the rest and recovery I needed. I would not hesitate to hire Marcie again as either a birth doula or post partum doula. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a gentle demeanor yet is still very professional. She didn’t hesitate to help me find any information I needed to help assist in recovery or be a sounding board as I was recovering from birthing. She is truly a treasure and an asset to moms-whether it’s their first birth or their fourth!”

Nesting In Homebirth Postpartum Support

homebirth postpartum doula

 

Babies take a nap for about 4-6 hours about 2 hours after birth. This is a wonderful opportunity for the new parents to have a nap, too. In the hospital, there are too many disruptions for that to happen.

After a homebirth, though, it can happen. This is my favorite thing about supporting the first 12 hours after a homebirth. What does this look like?

  • Finishing your birth laundry
  • Feeding you
  • Observing mother and baby for wellness
  • Helping with breastfeeding
  • Helping with other children
  • Straightening the kitchen
  • Answering questions, modeling car, and providing reassurance
