Postpartum Doula Services in Seacoast, NH and Southern, Maine
Dover Doula has been providing excellent day time and overnight postpartum doula support to families in the Dover and Portsmouth, NH area and the York/Kittery area of Southern, Maine since 2010.
As your postpartum doulas, we do whatever you need so that you can best enjoy and care for your new baby each day.
What we actually do changes from day to day, as the needs of your family change.
When we arrive at your home, we will first chat about how the previous night/days have been going and answer any burning questions you have.
Then, we ask what you NEED.
The answer is usually:
sleep, a shower, help with feeding the baby and food.
“Just to have her hold our son so I could shower or take a nap was a huge help.”

So, we care for your baby while you go nap.
If baby is settled, we tackle the dishes and laundry.
“Right after my son was born, I felt very anxious and was having a hard time with the idea of going home and caring for this new baby as I was recovering from c-section surgery. Darcy’s doula service was a huge help in adjusting to this new life. She helped me care for my son, including bathing and nursing him, and it was such a support for me to talk to her. She seamlessly entered our home and helped with household tasks that seemed overwhelming at the time. Darcy made great referrals to community resources and I’m so grateful.”

“Darcy is one of the most caring, compassionate, knowledgeable women I know - and she's also funny on top of all that, which in the postpartum time, a sense of humor is important!!! I thought going into having my third child I would be all set and know everything, but that birth was quite traumatic and I couldn't have gotten through many of those weeks without her help after my husband had to return to work - I still had 2 older children to care for and a lot of pain to manage. Darcy's assistance brought the peace of mind and support that we ALL needed. I am so thankful for her and can’t recommend her highly enough!”
