Episode 199: Postpartum Loneliness and the Doula’s Role

Postpartum loneliness is common. It’s also easy to miss.

A client can have a clean house, a full fridge, and family around and still feel alone.

In this episode, we take a look at the reasons postpartum can feel so lonely. We explore questions that get past “good, tired,” when we ask how a client is doing. We also discuss the clients and partners who seem to have it all handled and under control. We wrap up with talking aabout what happens when the doula relationship ends. Research shows some families feel a real loss when our support stops.

Join us as we explore how postpartum doulas can help clients withe postpartum loneliness and build connections that lasts beyond the contract.
