Testimonial for Emerald Brantley
Before our daughter was born, I had never even heard of a postpartum doula. I honestly wasn't sure what she would do or if it would really make much of a difference. I was wrong. Having her around during those first couple of weeks was a huge help. She jumped in wherever we needed her—helping with meals, cleaning up around the house, keeping our toddler entertained, or holding the baby so we could take a breather.
These little things added up and took a lot of stress off both of us. One of the biggest things she did was supporting my wife. Recovering from a C-section while trying to figure out breastfeeding was really tough, and having someone there to encourage her and help however she could meant a lot. It also took some pressure off me because I knew my wife wasn't carrying everything on her own.
When we have more kids, I will not hesitate to have a postpartum doula again. I didn't realize how valuable it would be until we experienced it ourselves, and I'm really glad we did. Any friends or coworkers that are expecting I will always recommend a post partum doula, specifically the one we used.
