Do I Need a Postpartum Doula? Here’s What They Really Do

"Do I Really Need This?" It’s a question so many new mums ask, often in the quiet chaos of the fourth trimester. “Do I actually need a postpartum doula? Isn’t that a bit... extra?” When your body is sore, your hormones are surging, and you’re running on fragments of sleep, it’s not about luxury, it’s about being held while you hold your baby. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, touched out, or just bone-tired, this blog is your starting point.
