Doula What?
What does a Doula Do?
Wild Wonders Doula does more than keep the house or hang out with the baby. We care for your mental health, overall wellbeing, and help you navigate through pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
Read on for the comprehensive services we offer!
🚗 Appointments and Errands
Pediatrician and postpartum doctor appointments can be overwhelming. You don't have to brave it alone. I'd love to tag along, be a cheerleader, an advocate, and support person ❤️
Meal Prep and Delivery
🥗 Meal Delivery & prep: You provide an idea or a recipe. We'll get it prepped and put in the fridge or freezer for you to reheat later.
Resources
🔎 It can be incredibly overwhelming researching everything about pregnancy, postpartum, infant care, what to put on the registry, etc, etc, etc. It never ends!
🤳 Shoot me a text instead of relying on fear-inducing Dr. Google! I'll send recommendations, share my experience, and find a reliable information for you!
🧠 Getting set up with WIC, EBT, child support, pediatricians, daycare, and all of that stuff is a full-time job. Now, tack on mood disorders and you're talking about finding therapists and signing up for free online resources. The capacity to do these things is so low after giving birth. You CAN do the things. You are capable. But, at what cost?
All about You
✔️ Weekly Check-Ins: Enjoy regular phone or in-person appointments, where we check on you and baby, providing the support and reassurance you need.
🫂 Self-Care Training: Self-care isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity, especially now. We’ll teach you effective ways to take care of yourself daily and help you shed any guilt about it!
🧠 Mood Disorder Support: postpartum mood disorders can strike at any time. Early detection and intervention is crucial for healing. As a survivor of postpartum mood disorders, I understand what you're dealing with. I will help you navigate this, and advocate for profession and peer support services to utilize beyond doula care. It really does take a village.
All About Baby
You need to shower, why not turn that into a long soak to recharge?
You need to sleep, take a nap girl! Who ever said sleep when the baby sleeps is bonkers. They've not dealt with new baby anxiety or a collicky babe!
Leave babe with me and you go get all human! There's no need to rush. I'll feed them, change them, rock them, and keep em as happy as a newborn can be.
Have other kiddos? Not to worry! I can manage to keep them out of your hair for a few hours!
You are worthy of you time.
Housekeeping
🧹 It is expected that you will not have the energy nor drive to keep up the house. You've welcomed a brand new life into the world, and you still need to eat and shower which means dishes and laundry. on top of new baby needs, and your changing needs!
It's easy to think you aren't worthy, or you can't afford such a frivolous purchase. I challenge that to say it is an investment on your mental health and a recognition of what your capabilities are after giving birth.
From surfaces and dishes to laundry, we’ve got it covered. Your only job right now is to feed your self, your soul, your baby and get lots of rest.
