AFTER BIRTH SUPPORT
ARE YOU HAVING A BABY,OR JUST HAD A BABY, NEED HELP? TRY A POSTNATAL DOULA!
MY NAME IS JACKIE AND I AM A TRAINEE POSTNATAL DOULA, I HAVE 1 LITTLE BOY CALLED JAMES AGE 5 AND LIVE WITH MY PARTNER DARREN IN HYDE/CHESHIRE. I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A POSTNATAL DOULA AS I FEEL THAT MOTHERS ARE TOO OFTEN RUSHED BACK INTO NORMAL DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES AFTER THE BIRTH OF THEIR BABY. WITH HELP FROM A POSTNATAL DOULA IT ALLOWS THE MOTHER TIME TO BOND WITH HER BABY AND MAINTAIN HER RELATIONSHIP WITH ANY OTHER SIBLINGS.
WHAT IS A POSTNATAL DOULA?
A POSTNATAL DOULA OFFERS EMOTIONAL AND PRACTICAL SUPPORT TO THE NEW PARENTS, IN THEIR HOME, FOLLOWING THE BIRTH OF THEIR BABY. MY WORK IS ABOUT ENABLING A FAMILY TO TAKE CARE OF ITSELF. I FACILITATE THIS BY OFFERING ENCOURGEMENT AND SUGGESTIONS AS WELL AS PROVIDING A SUPPORTIVE HOME ENVIROMENT SO THAT THE MOTHER CAN DEVELOP HER OWN MOTHERING SKILLS IN A RELAXED, STRESS-FREE MANNER.
WHAT DOES A POSTNATAL DOULA DO?
IT WILL VARY ACCORDING TO THE NEW MOTHER OR FAMILY WISHES. I WOULD BE THERE FOR THE MOTHER IF SHE WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS ANY CONCERN AND ISSUES SHE MAY HAVE, AS WELL AS PROVIDING HELP AROUND INFANT FEEDING. MY SERVICE WOULD INCLUDE ASSISTING IN CARING FOR OLDER CHILDREN, DO SOME FOOD SHOPPING, COOKING, SCHOOL RUNS AND OCCASIONAL LIGHT HOUSEWORK.
HOW MUCH DO I CHARGE?
I WOULD CHARGE £10 FOR THE HOUR AND WORK UP TO 4 HOURS A DAY.
THE FIRST INITIAL INTERVIEW/MEETING IS FREE OF CHARGE.
WHERE HAVE I DONE MY TRAINING?
I HAVE TRAINED WITH NURTURING BIRTH, WHICH IS RECONISED BY DOULA.UK
