Why Postpartum Support Is Essential (and What It Includes)

We spend so much time preparing for labor—but what about the days and weeks after?

Postpartum is a sacred and sensitive window. It’s when your body heals, your identity shifts, and your family begins to form new rhythms. And it’s a time that’s often overlooked or undersupported.

Here’s what postpartum midwifery care can offer:

1. Home Visits

You don’t have to go anywhere. I come to you in the weeks postpartum to check on healing, feeding, bleeding, and emotional well-being.

2. Nursing & Feeding Support

Whether you’re nursing, pumping, combo-feeding, or bottle-feeding, I offer evidence-based support that’s judgment-free and personalized.

3. Emotional Check-Ins

Hormonal shifts can bring up a lot. I’m here to hold space for the tears, the joy, and the questions. You’re not alone.

4. Healing Guidance

From perineal care to herbal supports, we talk through what’s normal, what’s not, and how to feel better in your body as you recover.

5. Ongoing Access

Postpartum isn’t just a one-time checkup. I offer follow-ups, phone support, and resources as things unfold.

When postpartum care is personalized and grounded in relationship, it makes a world of difference. You deserve support that doesn’t disappear after the birth.

Don't Navigate Postpartum Alone

The weeks after birth are just as important as the birth itself—yet too many families struggle through this tender time without adequate support.

My postpartum care includes 4 home visits over your first 6 weeks, where I monitor your physical healing, provide nursing support, check your emotional well being, and answer the hundreds of questions that come up with a new baby.

You don't have to figure out postpartum recovery by yourself. Let me bring experienced, compassionate care directly to your home during this precious and vulnerable time.

FAQ Section:

Q: How soon after birth do you visit? 

A: I typically make my first postpartum visit within 24-48 hours of birth, then again at week 1, week 3, and week 6. This schedule can be adjusted based on your specific needs. Additional visits will be added if needed.

Q: What if I'm struggling with nursing? 

A: Nursing support is a core part of my postpartum care. I'm trained in lactation support and can help with positioning, latch issues, supply concerns, and more. If needed, I can also refer you to a specialized lactation consultant.

Q: Do you help with newborn care questions? 

A: Absolutely! From diaper changes to sleep patterns to when to call the pediatrician, I'm here to support you in feeling confident caring for your baby. No question is too small.

Q: What if I'm feeling overwhelmed or sad? 

A: Postpartum emotional changes are normal, but you shouldn't suffer alone. I screen for postpartum mood disorders and can connect you with appropriate support, whether that's counseling, support groups, or other resources.

Q: Do you replace my baby's pediatrician? 

A: No, I complement pediatric care but don't replace it. I perform initial newborn exams and can guide you on normal newborn behavior, but you'll still need to establish care with a pediatrician for ongoing well-child visits.
