Here at Hippy Dippy Doula I take birth work very seriously and it’s my personal mission to make sure more and more women and their families are supported through postpartum where they feel as nourished, held and blissful as I can.

What is in your postpartum care plan ?

No ifs ands or buts about it.

The first 48 hours are crucial for the rest of your postpartum and honestly you should be chillaxin for your 6 week sacred window.

We live in a culture that praises the woman who “bounces back,” gets herself dressed, makes her own food, takes care of the baby, hosts visitors, cleans the house and somehow manages to do it all with a smile.

But Ayurveda has a very different perspective on the postpartum window.Those first days are a time of rest, warmth, nourishment, grounding and being cared for.

Your body has just done something extraordinary. You have given birth to a baby, your hormones are shifting dramatically, your tissues are recovering and your body is working hard to establish milk, heal and regulate.

This is not the season to prove that you can do everything yourself. It’s to receive and let someone else make your meals, wash the dishes.

Stay in bed a little longer or all day, eat warm, nourishing foods, keep yourself warm, limit unnecessary stimulation, say no to visitors if you need to and let the people who love you actually love you by serving you.

Because postpartum care was never supposed to be a one-woman job. Independence is a beautiful thing, but knowing when to receive support is wisdom, not weakness.

Maybe we just need to be held. 🤍

Your pregnancy doesn’t suddenly make you fragile…..
Yes, true emergencies can happen, and when they do, I’m incredibly grateful for skilled medical care. But we’ve created a culture where many women enter pregnancy and birth believing something is likely to go wrong.

For the vast majority of healthy pregnancies, birth is a normal physiological process not an automatic emergency.
When we understand the difference between normal and emergency, we make decisions from knowledge instead of fear. We trust our bodies while also recognizing when intervention is truly needed.

Both things can be true birth is powerful, and birth can sometimes require medical support. The goal isn’t to ignore risk it’s to stop treating every labouring woman as if she’s already in crisis.

What if we prepared for birth with confidence instead of expecting catastrophe?

Pineapple w**d has a rich history of traditional use during the postpartum period, primarily to support physical recovery and relaxation after childbirth. It is a close relative of German chamomile and is often referred to as “wild chamomile”.

Traditional Postpartum Uses

Postpartum Anemia: Indigenous cultures and traditional herbalists have long utilized the plant to help the body recover from blood loss after delivery.

System Cleansing: Certain Indigenous communities, traditionally brew it into a tea to help a new mother cleanse her system and remove residual blood after birth.

Lactation Support: Traditional accounts note that the tea has been used to help a new mother produce milk, though its efficacy has not been scientifically measured.

Relaxation and Pain Relief: Due to its mild sedative and antispasmodic qualities, it helps soothe uterine cramping (afterpains), ease postpartum anxiety, and promote better sleep.

How It Is Typically Used?

Herbal Tea: The most common preparation is steeping a small handful of fresh or dried flower heads in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes. It tastes like a sweeter, fruitier version of chamomile tea.

Herbal Baths: It can be added to postpartum sitz bath blends or standard bathwater to help soothe sore perineal tissues and promote physical

Have you heard of pineapple w**d before ? Now that you’ve seen it you probably won’t unsee it growing out of strange place. This is its properties in postpartum but it can be used for so many other things and it’s delicious!

Listen to me because I’m shouting it from the roof tops. Birth can be joyful, peaceful, graceful when we completely surrender.

How do we surrender ? We prepare our village, and ourselves by being informed about our choices. We choose those informed choices and make sure our partner and our additional support person knows your expectations and how you will feel held. ( yes you should have an extra person there to assist and pick someone who’s helping not hurting, they respect your choices and don’t sway )

Once you feel held & nourished you feel surrendered which can bring you to blissfulness.

Now am I saying birth won’t have its moments of testing you , absolutely not it will but with these people by your side and you checking your boxes you can come out of the little enemy in the back of your mind trying to sway you from believing in you and your body 🥰

If you are wanting to prepare your mind, body and spirit for birth comment “drop” and I’ll send you my birth guide better yet you want a stronger more intimate support comment “consult” for a 1:1 to see if we should work together.
