Initial Consultation
Nikita has been offering additional support via postpartum visits. Having someone who has been part of this journey and then can provide aftercare support to my kiddo while I get a full night's rest has been amazing. I highly recommend DMV Birth Doulas and will be using them again in the future!

Placenta Encapsulation
The postpartum period begins immediately after the delivery of the placenta. During this time the body will start the process of returning to the non-pregnant state causing hormone levels to drop, milk to form in the breasts, and the uterus to shrink in size. All of these changes can cause an increase in postpartum mood disorders, stress, and fatigue. Postpartum support can increase a positive and thriving postpartum transition.
