A call for help, some encouragement, to ask a quick question, to get another opinion, or to just hear another adult voice is always a good reason to call your doula.  It could be months before a due date, hours before birth, days after birth, or even months or years after a birth and it is always a good time to call your doula.  I think of my moms often.  I enjoying watching your little ones grow through their own blogs or websites, online photo albums, on Christmas cards or in person.  I remember each and every family as we shared a special day together.  I try and follow up with my moms a few times in the immediate postpartum and then try to provide some space as they become a family and find their way.  I would much rather spend hours on the phone trying answering questions and find a workable solution to life's challenges than to be told six months later that the challenges were numerous and great and we had to give up so many of our plans.  Our job as doulas do not end once we leave your birth.  We did not join this profession to work nine to five hours with no interruptions after work.  We chose this profession because we LOVE to support new families.  We are HONORED to be a part of your Baby Day.  We sympathize, empathize, understand, and expect life's challenges to make their way into your homes.  We are trained to support new famiiles and give fresh ideas to overcome them.  If we do not know where to begin, we have an amazing amount of resources at our fingertips.  So please feel free to call/email anytime, for whatever reason, I am always happy to help!
