Rest, relax and rejuvenate and enjoy!

Now you’re back home after your birth. You and your partner are gazing at your newborn, and it’s unbelievable how much love you have for this tiny new member of your family. You can’t imagine life being anymore perfect than this moment. Then you realize that you haven’t showered in 3 days, your dirty laundry is piling up and the dog hasn’t gone on a proper walk in nearly a week. Suddenly the reality of how different your life is hits you and you wonder how you will manage all of life’s tasks when you’re responsible for the care of this beautiful, little human.

Then your postpartum doula from Piedmont Doulas knocks quietly on the door and greets you with a smile! She reminds you she’s there to help you adjust to this new life. Educated and experienced, ready to help! Whether you need to take a shower, return phone calls or just take a walk with the dog she can help you.
