Postpartum care
You’re holding
the baby,
who’s holding
you?
Imagine having someone to support you through your early days of postpartum. Someone invested in keeping you grounded and nourished as you navigate your new life with your baby in the world, and to ensure that your family or caregiving network are well prepared to provide you with the most beneficial help.
The Royal College of Midwives refers to Postpartum support as ‘The Cinderella of maternity care’, due to lack of funding, staffing, and a prioritisation of antenatal and birth care.
The need for intentional care of the Mother or Birthing person after their baby has arrived is chronically overlooked. Even though you have just given birth, and there is now an entire new human in the world, it is widely assumed that you will continue with your daily life as you did before, with no physical, emotional or practical difficulty. Almost as though you haven’t recently birthed a baby at all.
I can be by your side; listening, caring and tending to all that you might need me to.
