It’s no secret that the postpartum period can be more than a little stressful. Your body is recovering from a pretty intensive experience, and even walking around the house can feel like a huge achievement. At the same time, you are constantly working to understand your newborn’s cues so you can give them the care they need. And you’re doing all this on next-to-no sleep. If you could use a little help, you may want to consider hiring a postpartum doula. Not only will they be there to provide you with emotional support, but they can also give you hands-on assistance so you can feel your best. Here are some agencies where you can find postpartum doulas in Austin.
