“My husband and I would strongly encourage anyone who is going to have a baby to hire a doula. It’s worth every penny to have someone who can help get you through, especially if it’s your first and you have no idea on what to expect.

Wouldn’t change anything, thought everything the doula did was all very helpful.My husband was even impressed with everything she did to help. One of the nurses that was on duty said she wanted to have another baby, so that she could have a doula.”

Encapsulation:

I struggled a lot after the birth of my first child – low milk supply, PND symptoms, etc – and I heard that placenta encapsulation had the potential to help with these issues.

My recovery and milk supply were 100% better with this birth than with my first birth! In part, this had to do with my shorter labor and the time of the birth. But I’m certain the capsules also gave me more energy, helped me be more balanced, and increased my milk supply.

I would definitely recommend it. Placenta encapsulation made the recovery after my second birth so much easier than the recovery after my first birth.
