When it rains...We have doulas!

Something Rebecca and I have in common is that we have both have a background as a labor doula (her much more so than I).  So we have witnessed the amazing and beautiful revolution focusing on empowering birth as it continues to take the country by storm.  Since we started having children, labor doulas have become more popular.  The suggestion of hiring one has increased in mainstream bump and parenting magazines.  And for good reason!  Labor doulas are incredible additions to the birth team.

                                                         
​We aren't trying to steal the light from the labor doulas nor negate the importance of an empowered birth, we simply want to extend that focus to the perinatal period, of which childbirth encompasses a day or two.  

If you are pregnant now, who is on your postpartum team? Have you created a plan? Have you been stressing about preparing for your baby's arrival? Did you know an antenatal doula could help with that?

If you are not currently pregnant, think back, if you aren't fully into the amnesia stage, you may remember more than a few times of self doubt, tears, or frustration; wishing someone who understood was there to help you.

Enter the postpartum doula.

A postpartum doula is a trained support person.  She is there to help you navigate the uncertainty that comes with new motherhood--even if it's not your first baby!
A postpartum doula educates, empowers and assists the whole family as they develop their new roles. You may remember we featured 
postpartum doulas here a while back. We weren't kidding when we said postpartum doulas are the bee's knees.  ​

Realizing how powerful a mother is when she is properly supported during her postpartum period, Rebecca and I started talking about postpartum doulas.  We developed a dream of placing postpartum doulas that understand the early signs and symptoms of perinatal distress into the homes of every new mother.  You know how this goes, Rebecca and I decided once again, that we might as well start somewhere.

On July 17th, The Seventh Mom Project, Inc. launched our social enterprise, Tampa Bay Perinatal Professionals.  This enterprise is a perinatal doula agency that truly knows motherhood is not always sunshine and rainbows; doula agency ready for any mother, regardless the weather.  

We hope you are as excited as we are for this journey!

Holding the umbrella,

Elizabeth
