Latest / Arrivals: A Birth Story Podcast

Two C-sections in the eighties, the importance of a postpartum doula and changing birth trends

This week, postpartum doula, Penny Gilchrist, joins Merelise to not only tell her two birth stories, but to talk about the importance of the postpartum doula role, how birth and postpartum trends have changed in her 27 years as a doula, what she recommends all new moms do, and so much more. They reflect on their experiences with post-partum depression, why it’s hard for new moms to ask for help, and the importance of having a community in those early days after your baby is born.
