When it's put like that.
Then yes of course, makes total sense.
Here's the thing though. You don't know what you don't know.
How do you know doing a series of things before the baby comes will help massively both for your wellbeing but practically.
How do you know having support will see you through a time of change, give you huge peace of mind and resolve issues quicker..
In my doula career, I meet women when they are pregnant and would like feel ready as they can and know they have the help all arranged.
Or, I meet women when the baby is here and they reach out for support as a reaction to feeling overwhelmed and generally not a happy camper.

My name is April...I am a mum to two beautiful boys
I've been a Doula for a decade. I decided back then to focus on the postnatal bit. Why? Because we are given more instructions with a car than we are a baby!
I remember getting my first born home and thinking 'what the hell do I do know'.
Birth is life changing and needs love & energy. I believe though we are always postnatal and we should give ourselves the best start we can.
Some of the ways you can get support as a first time mum
Rocking Motherhood is created for first time mums-to-be to give you all the tools & info ahead of baby arriving and you becoming mum. We deep dive into fourth trimester life and create a personalised new mum toolkit covering everything from baby norms & products, wellbeing, nutrition and getting into your flow, and so much more. .
This is a guided preparation session whilst you are pregnant thinking about your fourth trimester.
We use a bespoke framework that directly matches up with challenges (and where women thrive) in the first 12 weeks. With actionable steps on where to start? How to prepare for it? Feel ready?
Dads can join these sessions too so you can make sure you are both singing from the same song :)
As your doula, I will come to your home and provide practical and emotional support. The support focuses on you, as the new mum, and what you need in those early weeks.
