The postpartum period, encompassing the weeks and months after the baby is born, is a transformative time in which the woman begins to define herself as a mother. The woman [and the partner] enter the bonding period, a time that should be characterized by minimal interruption. Historically, the postpartum period was a time where the new mother was secluded from the community and cared for by her village. If a mother is unsupported during her postpartum period, she risks feeling overwhelmed, stressed, insecure, and depressed. We strive to support every woman, and create a sense of community for her during this sacred time in her life.
Covered within all postpartum care are the following services:
Support Options
One-day Settling In, $185
Includes postpartum support the day you return home from the hospital or birth center, or same-day services after your homebirth. A Professional Family Support Worker (PFSW) will arrive ready to assist parents in settling in to their new roles. The PFSW will also help the mother (and partner) put together a Care Plan for the remaining weeks.
Post-Cesarean Care Package-$650
For mothers having a planned or unplanned cesarean birth experience, more support is often needed. A Community Birth Worker will meet with you once prenatally to help you develop birth plan, to ensure a more satisfying and positive birth experience. She will be present at the hospital the day of the birth, answering any questions, easing tensions, assisting with breastfeeding initiation, and offering any additional support to make for a smoother recovery. Once you arrive at home, the Community Birth Worker will come for 3-4 hours to help you settle in. She will also help you put together a Care Plan for the remaining weeks.
