Midwest Doulas believes that families are empowered by education and support, and we know that doesn’t stop at birth. Our postpartum doulas provide in-home support during the postpartum period – a critical time in the lives of mothers, partners, babies, siblings, and entire families.
Our postpartum doula support services are customized to ease the transition when families are adjusting to their newborn and the shifting household dynamic. We begin with a complimentary consultation to assess your individual needs and tailor a schedule that will provide the most beneficial support. Then our doulas provide calming, in-home support to help mothers, families and the entire household thrive.
A minimum of 32 hours is required for postpartum doula services.

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Midwest Doulas! The postpartum visit when we debriefed my birth experience was one of my favorite conversations ever. It left me feeling so empowered and proud of the incredible thing I had done. Still brings tears to my eyes.
… the overnight postpartum help was so amazing! Getting some actual sleep while knowing that my baby is in my doula’s super capable, loving hands is the best self care I can imagine and oh what a gift it is!”
