| Postpartum Doula Support includes:
For thousands of years, women have been surrounded by family, loved ones, and neighbors in the time after giving birth. In our society, it is often difficult for women to obtain the support they need to smooth the transition into parenting. The postpartum doula makes it possible for the new parents to focus solely on themselves and their family in the time after birth. Postpartum doula services allow the new mother and her partner to tend to their baby's and their family's needs with confidence, patience, and ease. Blossoming Bellies' postpartum doula services include a prenatal visit in which plans for postpartum support are discussed. In addition, each couple is provided with a folder of information and samples for the postpartum period. A $35 deposit secures services for your birth month and includes the prenatal visit. After that, postpartum doula services are $25 per hour with a minimum of two hours per day. Brittany is available Monday through Friday from 9 am to 4 pm. A gas fee of 15 cents per mile is assessed for errands such as grocery shopping and dry cleaning (as calculated by Consumer Reports magazine). Blossoming Bellies is proud to provide wholistic birth services to the greater Philadelphia area. For clients outside the county of Philadelphia, a $10 travel-related expense fee will be added to the daily cost of postpartum doula services (excluding the initial deposit).
