The Brutal Beauty of the Early Postpartum

The postpartum period is a time of immense growth and beauty. It can also be earth shatteringly difficult as our hearts burst open and we search for solid ground. 
​
You are not alone. It’s ok to not be ok. These stories will save us. Lifting the veil, talking about the parts that hurt, is important and beautiful work. ⠀
⠀
As midwives we aim to honor both parent and child as individuals as well as a dyad. You are important. Your story is important. We are listening. ⠀
⠀
You are important.⠀
You are important.⠀
You are important. ⠀

“I want to know if you will stand in the center of the
fire with me and not shrink back.”⠀- Oriah

No matter who you are, no matter where you give birth, you deserve to feel seen and supported. Finding a care team dedicated to honoring the 4th trimester is one way to protect this sacred time.

Coyote Midwifery's Home-Based Postpartum Care

​At Coyote Midwifery we believe that all birthing people should be granted access to comprehensive, personalized postpartum care, regardless of where they choose to give birth. Our home-based postpartum care package is designed for those attending prenatals and birthing in the hospital but who desire postpartum care tailored to the unique needs of the postpartum family. ⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
You shouldn't have to leave home to receive the care you need. Coyote’s postpartum care package is designed to protect the 4th trimester, which includes the initial three months after birth. This is a special time when parent and baby are adjusting to life separated while still relying on each other in so many ways. We come to you in your home to provide care in your nesting space. Remaining in this safe space can increase oxytocin while mitigating stress, allows for skin-to-skin and feeding on demand, promotes sleep and rest for healing bodies. ⠀⠀⠀
