Here at Hippy Dippy Doula I take birth work very seriously and it’s my personal mission to make sure more and more women and their families are supported through postpartum where they feel as nourished, held and blissful as I can.

What is in your postpartum care plan ?

No ifs ands or buts about it.

The first 48 hours are crucial for the rest of your postpartum and honestly you should be chillaxin for your 6 week sacred window.

We live in a culture that praises the woman who “bounces back,” gets herself dressed, makes her own food, takes care of the baby, hosts visitors, cleans the house and somehow manages to do it all with a smile.

But Ayurveda has a very different perspective on the postpartum window.Those first days are a time of rest, warmth, nourishment, grounding and being cared for.

Your body has just done something extraordinary. You have given birth to a baby, your hormones are shifting dramatically, your tissues are recovering and your body is working hard to establish milk, heal and regulate.

This is not the season to prove that you can do everything yourself. It’s to receive and let someone else make your meals, wash the dishes.

Stay in bed a little longer or all day, eat warm, nourishing foods, keep yourself warm, limit unnecessary stimulation, say no to visitors if you need to and let the people who love you actually love you by serving you.

Because postpartum care was never supposed to be a one-woman job. Independence is a beautiful thing, but knowing when to receive support is wisdom, not weakness.

Maybe we just need to be held. 🤍

Your pregnancy doesn’t suddenly make you fragile…..
Yes, true emergencies can happen, and when they do, I’m incredibly grateful for skilled medical care. But we’ve created a culture where many women enter pregnancy and birth believing something is likely to go wrong.

For the vast majority of healthy pregnancies, birth is a normal physiological process not an automatic emergency.
When we understand the difference between normal and emergency, we make decisions from knowledge instead of fear. We trust our bodies while also recognizing when intervention is truly needed.

Both things can be true birth is powerful, and birth can sometimes require medical support. The goal isn’t to ignore risk it’s to stop treating every labouring woman as if she’s already in crisis.

What if we prepared for birth with confidence instead of expecting catastrophe?
