Birth days and First days – Birth and Postnatal Doula Services

With a very alert baby who didn't sleep well during the day, I was struggling when my husband went back to work after the first few weeks. This is when I found Fern. Despite the late notice Fern managed to pop over for a few hours a day to watch Chloe and allow me to put my head down for a much needed kip, or bring in the washing which had been on the line for days! She is very friendly and natural with babies, I'd definitely recommend her post natal services. (And she also makes a good cuppa!). - Beth, Rickmansworth

Being pregnant with our first child I was nervous about birth especially towards the end of the pregnancy. Within the first few minutes of meeting Fern, I knew we have found the right person. Fern's birth support was amazing. Without her, I wouldn't have had the same birth experience as I had (birth pool with only gas/air and no problems). - Sabine, London

I decided to engage Fern's doula services because my husband was working abroad during the week and we wanted to ensure I had the support if he couldn't arrive for the birth in time. Luckily I went into labour on a Saturday but we had warmed to Wendy so much that we had decided to have her present through the birth regardless. I would recommend Fern's doula service to anyone, she prepared me well before the birth and she was able to ensure that I was calm and supported throughout the birth process and consequently I had a much more positive birthing experience the second time around!

Fern helped us for the first few weeks after the arrival of our twins. She was a great support, really flexible and happy to do whatever she could - which was a great help while I was recovering and finding my feet Sarah, Welwyn Garden City, Herts.

Location

I live in Hove and usually travel up to an hour away for births and slightly less for postnatal work. I am happy to travel further for overnight stays or four or more consecutive daytime hours.

OUR GET TOGETHERS

Supporting women in pregnancy, during birth and postnatally, brings me very close to them and I like to stay in touch whenever people like to do so. I recognise how difficult it is for Mums, especially first-timers, to transition into a new life with a baby, especially if they don’t have a huge support system around them. Another bonus is that I get to see families blossom and grow… I am also rubbish at saying ‘Goodbye!’.
