Episode 20 - Postnatal Planning - Essential Preparation in Pregnancy The Ultimate Birth Partner Podcast

Send us a Text Message.
In this week's episode, I am chatting to the lovely Zare de Candole who is a birth and postnatal doula amongst many other things.  She shares her great wisdom of what is required when preparing for the baby's arrival during pregnancy. She makes many recommendations about using a planning journal to ensure that anyone expecting a baby considers the wide variety of issues that may arise in the early days with a newborn, and how to ensure that you are all cared for and the new mother and baby are nurtured  to facilitate bonding.   

You can find Zara on her website - https://doulabud.co.uk/

A Poem from Zara
Support is unconditional. It is listening…not judging, not telling your own story

We are here to help women discover what they are feeling…not to make the feelings go away

We are here to help a woman identify her options…not to tell her what options to choose.

We are here to discuss steps with a woman…not to take the steps for her.

We are here to help a woman discover her own strength…not to rescue her and leave her still vulnerable.

We are here to help a woman discover she can help herself…not to take that responsibility for her.

We are here to help a woman learn to choose…not to make it unnecessary for her to make difficult choices.
