Recognizing The Signs | Postpartum Support

I created this blog post because I too was in your shoes. I was soo in love with my new baby, I ignored all the signs that pointed out that I was struggling bad! With the lack of support, unaware of my resources, I was lost in the transition into parenthood.
  • ​I was anemic and experiencing postpartum depletion 
  • I became anxious and sleep and the lack thereof
  • I felt like I want producing enough milk although I was nursing on demand
  • My bleeding was heavy & prolonged
  • My nipples became damaged and it was very painful to nurse
  • I experienced a perineum tear during childbirth and it seemed like it took forever to heal
  • A few days postpartum all the help stopped and I spiked a high fever that put me on further bedrest
It's so much more I can pinpoint but I'm sure you understand what I'm getting at.

No one should feel blind sided or lost in the transition of parenthood! I remembered the words "There is so much you CAN do, just by knowing WHAT you need".
All I knew is that I needed help but in order to get it I had to be way more specific.
  • I needed help for the first 6 weeks maybe longer
  • I needed delicious support foods that would aid in digestion, lactation, healing warm foods that was prepared ahead of time
  • I knew my support person needed help to care for me, the baby and household tasks I was once in charge of
  • I wanted to learn how to support & protect my milk supply
  • I wanted to be more confident, loving and bonded to my baby & partner without feeling resentful.
  • I craved to feel empowered because I felt so vulnerable in my needs.
If any of this resonated with you, its time to get the help of a resourceful postpartum doula! Although I learned this the hard way, you don't have too!

Being a Postpartum doula I want to be of support to you and your family in meaningful ways. You cant pour from an empty cup and expect to heal. This is about Mothering the mother not smothering you.
At this point you've recognized you need the support, you've recognized what exactly you need, Lastly is to put it all in action, reach out for a consultation with Doula Kerri!
