Things I DGAF about as your postpartum doula.

I don't care if your house is a mess.

I don't care if you haven't showered.

I don't care if you're still in your PJs when I arrive.

I don't care whether you're breastfeeding, pumping, formula feeding or doing a bit of everything.

I don't care whether you birthed your baby vaginally, by planned caesarean, emergency caesarean, induction, with an epidural or completely unmedicated.

I don't care if you cry.

And I definitely don't care if the washing has been sitting on the couch for three days. 😂

There are no gold stars for doing postpartum a certain way.

What I do care about is how you're doing.

How you're recovering.
Whether you've eaten.
Whether you've slept.
Whether you're feeling supported.
And what I can do while I'm there to make your day feel a little easier.

So please don't clean the house before I arrive. Don't apologise for the mess. Don't put a bra on for my benefit. And don't ever feel like you need to have your s**t together for me.

Just open the door exactly as you are. I'll meet you there.

Partners, I'm going to let you in on a little postpartum secret…

You don't need to become a newborn expert overnight.

You don't need to have all the answers.

And you definitely don't need to “fix” everything.

But you can make postpartum a whole lot easier by looking after the person who just had the baby.

Make sure she's eaten.

Keep her water bottle full.

Take the baby so she can shower.

Notice what needs doing around the house and just… do it.

Protect her rest.

Manage the visitors.

Check in on how she is doing.

And remember that while everyone is understandably obsessed with the tiny new person, she is recovering too.

Sometimes the most supportive thing you can say is:

“I've got this. Go lie down.”

You won't get every day right. Neither will she.

You're learning how to be parents to this baby together.

But please don't make her carry the baby and the entire mental load of postpartum.

Pregnant mamas, send this to your partner.

Save it for the fourth trimester.

Things I wish every first-time parent knew before taking their newborn home 👀

Because newborns are WEIRD.

They grunt.

They sneeze approximately 700 times a day.

Their skin peels.

Their breathing can look strange.

Their eyes can wander.

They throw their arms around dramatically.

And then, just when you think you've seen everything, you discover newborn B***S are a thing. 😂

A lot of completely normal newborn behaviour can look pretty alarming when nobody has warned you about it.

So consider this your little heads-up from a postpartum doula who spends a LOT of time around newborns.

Save this for those “IS THAT NORMAL?!” moments and send it to someone expecting their first baby.

And of course, Instagram isn't a substitute for medical advice. If your baby seems unwell, is struggling to breathe, has a change in colour, is difficult to wake or something simply doesn't feel right, please seek medical advice.

“Let me know if you need anything” means well… but let’s make postpartum support a little more specific to take some of the mental load off of new mums.

When you’re running on no sleep, recovering from birth and figuring out a brand new baby, the last thing you need is another question to answer.

Instead, try:

“I’m grabbing coffee, what’s your order?”

“I’ve made extra dinner, I’ll drop some over tonight.”

“I’m heading to the shops, send me what your list.”

“I’ve got the baby. Go have a shower.”

“I’m taking the toddler to the park for an hour.”

Small things. Big impact.

And if you’re visiting a new mum, remember: you’re not there to be hosted. Make the tea, bring the snacks, fill her water bottle and leave her house a little better than you found it.

What’s the BEST thing someone did for you postpartum? I’d love to hear it 👇🏼

I’m out of office from the 10th – 14th of September for a little break ✌🏼

I’ll be slower to respond during this time, but I’ll get back to all messages and enquiries when I return on September 15th.
