Just wondering how many of you who have given birth had a post partum doula?
I didn't realize how important it would be for me to have a post partum doula. She was amazing. She specializes in Ayurvedic post partum care and boy was it awesome. I had her for five days of bliss. She prepared our meals which were based on a Vata pacifying diet specific to this time and healing. I had warm seasame massages every day and she also prepared my sitz baths. On top of that the kitchen was kept clean, the laundry done, and the baby held if I needed to go to the bathroom or something. I don't know how anyone would do it with out help like this. My recovery has been a lot faster because of it. My midwife couldn't believe how fast I have healed and how well breastfeeding is going.

I highly recommend getting an ayurvedic post partum doula!
