A magical unicorn.
Just kidding…sort of.
You might feel like a postpartum doula is magical when she comes in to offer support and care for your new family. She will offer insight into daily care of a newborn, will help with light housekeeping, can monitor the new parent’s mental health, and can allow for an opportunity for the parents to get the rest that they need.

The truth about the postpartum poo
Ask a 4 year old about postpartum poo and they’ll begin laughing hysterically and making farting sounds. (P.S. They don’t know what “postpartum poo” is and they don’t care. You said “poo”.)
