Testimonial for Laura McCarthy, PCD(DONA)
Tl;dr You should work with Laura!
I didn't even know postpartum doulas existed, but someone recommended Laura to me when I was looking for a doula to support my birthing process. After speaking to Laura and learning about her postpartum services, I realized that this was actually more important to me.
As a first-time mom, I especially appreciated having the support of someone with extensive experience caring for newborns and their families. The first few weeks after giving birth are a blur, and Laura helped unblur them. She simply showed up and took care of things -- without taking over things. She manages to be supportive without being intrusive.
I don't think I could have even articulated what I needed, but Laura somehow figured it out and took care of it. This includes simple things like making sure I was fed and hydrated, but she also provided great advice on baby care issues.
A major bonus is her babywearing expertise. I never thought I'd be able to figure out those wraps, but thanks to Laura it feels like second nature now.
Anytime I tell friends with kids about my experience, they say they wish they had the same. If I ever had another kid, I would still work with Laura because I know her support would be useful no matter how many times you've done this.
