As a parent of twins
I know how overwhelming it is when you first find out you will be carrying more than one baby. I also know how overwhelming it is when you are giving birth to more than one baby, waking up with more than one baby, feeding more than one baby, and just raising more than one baby! There is so much that runs through your mind, its double the questions and most of the time, double the anxiety! I am very passionate about working with multiples, and as your doula, I will help you navigate this new world and provide you with all the resources that you need. I help you learn to be forgiving to your body as you carry multiple babies, and how to plan for the postpartum world. The most common reasons parents decided against hiring a doula when they learn they are expecting multiples is because of the additional financial strain or they are anticipating a C-section and don’t see the need of another person in the room. This is the time when you need the extra support the most, and I offer a unique compassion approach to support you emotionally and physically. And YES, a doula is still very beneficial when you are anticipating a C-section! If you are expecting twins, triplets, or more (!), lets come up with the best plan unique to your needs!
