I thought it was time to reintroduce myself.
I’m Lucy, mum of two children and a Postnatal Doula based in London, passionate about supporting new mothers and their families in the early days. ❤️
Top Tip #2 for new parents
Ask Questions ❤️
No matter how much you know about children and your pre-baby selves, everyone has to learn how to be a parent.
Be open to surprises and changing some pre-conceived ideas you may have had before. ❤️
As a Postnatal Doula, I am there to support you in many different ways, taking away some of the pressures of day to day living. There is no right time to engage with a Postnatal Doula, for some parents, this may be in the early stages of pregnancy planning ahead for the support they might like and for others, it can be whilst they are still at the hospital. Other parents may get in touch when their baby is a few weeks old, but whichever time you choose I'll be happy to engage and discuss your requirements and ensure that your individual needs are met in whatever capacity you feel best supported.
If you, or someone you know is looking for support during the last trimester or postnatally please recommend The Doula Days ❤️ Please like and share this post with others who may find it useful.
Top Tip #1 for new parents
Be kind to yourself ❤️
Being a new parent isn’t easy, sleep deprivation, all the changes and the pressures from family, friends and media can place a huge amount of pressure on you. You’ve all been through an incredible journey, forgive yourself, be kind to yourself and accept help! It’s ok. ❤️

Whether it's your first time or your third time each little life and experience is different. It's a time of adjustment for all the family and I believe it's essential that you are properly supported, nurtured and cared for during this period, allowing you time to recover from the birth and concentrate on getting to know your baby.

Have you been wondering what it is like to train with Developing Doulas?
We will be introducing you to some of the wonderful doulas who have trained with us over the years, for you to hear from them what their experience of being part of the Developing Doulas community has really been like!
Doula Lucy Knights says -
"I felt drawn to work as a Doula and the course has proved to be one of the most beneficial and valuable that I have ever attended. It fuelled my passion to support women in those early days and has given me a new sense of belief in myself and my abilities. I wish I had applied to do this years ago!"
