| Peaceful Beginning Birth and Postpartum Services |
| The postpartum period is a time of joy, a time of extreme change and a time of exhaustion for family with a new baby. By making a plan, developing a vision and having adequate support new parents may be better able to take care of themselves. I have 22 years of experience as a parenting educator, I raised two daughters, I completed a 27 hour DONA postpartum doula training and will assist new parents during the "fourth trimester", (the first 3 months after birth). With 2 1/2 years of experience providing postpartum doula support I have worked with many new families in Western North Carolina. Please call to check on my availability for postpartum doula support. If you have already asked me to be your birth doula I will provide 6 postpartum hours as part of my “doula package” and then if you choose to have additional hours I will offer my services on a per hour basis (listed below). First time parents, parents of multiples (see information at the bottom of the page), parents whose family lives far away, mother’s who have had a cesarean or any parents adding a new baby to their family can benefit from postpartum doula services. The following is a list of the things that I can provide as your postpartum doula:
can take a long shower, bath or nap or spend more time with your baby or older child.
Postpartum doulas are not nanny's or housekeepers and we can't perform medical tasks or diagnose medical conditions. However, postpartum doulas are trained to provide much needed assistance (as listed above) so that new parents find life easier with their new baby for the first few months. We also provide parents with referrals so that they can seek appropriate medical care if needed. If you desire postpartum doula care my "package" of services is available as follows:
Fee Packages
highest fee will be required per hour.
Scholarships are available for women who live in Buncombe County, have Medicaid (and serious financial difficulty) and are in need of postpartum support. For multiples: Doulas can work as a team to provide total postpartum service to parents of multiples or provide care alone. Scholarships are available for women who qualify for Medicaid and are in need of postpartum support. I highly recommend that you join the WNC Mother's of Multiples. Mother's of Multiples mission:

| Thank you for your support and help as a post-partum Doula after my daughter's birth. Your willingness to do just about anything to help out was amazing. From grocery shopping, to cooking, cleaning, and even planting herbs in my garden, your hard work helped my family to enjoy our new baby in her first few weeks and let the world just pass us by. I recommend your birth and post-partum doula services to all women without any reservation. Hire Cheryl Orengo! It’s the best gift you can give yourself and your baby. - D. T. |

Postpartum Doula Services
Top Ten Issues for New Parents 1. Babycare is tough, demanding work 2. Adjustment to a baby takes much longer then 4 to 6 weeks. 3. Birth is just the beginning! Infant care is difficult and exhausting 4. What new parents need most: Love, Food and Rest. 5. There is no such thing as a perfect mother and father. 6. Sleep deprivation can kill you (or at least it feels that way). 7. Father's are different than Mother's. Both are good! 8. Having a baby WILL affect your relationship with your partner. 9. With every change in life there is loss. 10. The job is next to impossible is you don't have support. By Kathy McGrath, MSW, FACCE, CD(DONA) |
