As a new very young mom, I didn't know what to expect as I started my journey of motherhood. Due quarantine and COVID regulations my mom could not be there for my birth and aftercare. This broke my heart because I was scared entering this journey. The first week postpartum I felt abandoned even though my partner was their helping me every step up of the way. I needed that support from someone who could really relate with me. I had all these new feelings of emotions and aches and pains that were all new to me. I was just trying to find ways to cope. I began to search for assistance. I connected with naps doula from a pamphlet given to me by the lactation specialist. Long story short, a knock came upon my door. Oh the joy that rose in my heart. Knowing that there was someone with experience able to help who knew the journey of motherhood in and out. I just needed some rest after a couple weeks of exhaustion. I needed an extra hand so that I could take care of myself. Ex: eat, relax, heal. My husband had went back to work. This is exactly what the doula provided me. As well as a great amount of resources and tips as a new Mom. I learned new breastfeeding techniques, feeding suggestions, soothing baby tips, connect with other parents etc.
