Our experience was...
“I thought I would feel uneasy having someone I didn’t know very well in the room with us in such an emotional situation. However, I couldn’t have been more wrong. Chelsey made us feel at ease, laugh, and felt so cared for.”
Madison Idell - Greeneville TN
“I wanted to thank you not only for the information on paced bottle feeding, but the guidance you provided when you visited us. We have been using the techniques for soothing and sleeping. Our son sleeps well at night, waking 2-3 times for feedings. It was so helpful to have you come and share knowledge with us, and I appreciated someone caring about my wellbeing as well as our son’s.”
“We had a fantastic experience with the High Country Doulas, utilizing many of their services and working with all of their doulas: labor support, breastfeeding and postpartum classes, and daytime and overnight services. Without family in the area, we really benefitted from all of this help and knowledge in order to best care for our first child.”
After experiencing awful PPD/A with my first born, I knew I would want to do something different with our next baby. A friend mentioned placenta encapsulation to me--I immediately knew it was worth trying after reading all the amazing benefits. I was assigned Chelsey for the encapsulation. She texted birth affirmations, answered any and every question I had, and was just all around a great support to have before and after birth.
“My postpartum visits with High Country Doulas were VITAL for our transition into parenthood and setting me up for a smoother postpartum recovery. Our doula Allison was flexible with scheduling and helped us begin to adjust right from the start. She helped us troubleshoot sleeping, feeding and the setup of our home to accommodate the needs of our growing family. The resources provided during our visit and the support between visits boosted our confidence and assuaged our concerns. The empathy, knowledge and expertise of the High Country Doulas is such an asset to the parents of the High Country! I would recommend EVERY parent book visits with this talented team no matter if this is your first or your fourth child!”
Do you wish you knew more about the research on all thing’s twins? Well, the first places to start is on the types of twins! Did you know that twins can be broken down into different categories and there’s more than just identical and fraternal twins.
We understand there are thousands of things running through your mind but here is a short and honest list of things you should know as you prepare to welcome multiple babies into your life.
If you feel like you have lost your sense of self and the person you used to be this blog post is for you. Grieving the end of your old life and celebrating, enjoying, or embracing your new life is not mutually exclusive, both can happen at the same time and both are valid.
Parents of multiples experiences prenatally can also be different. There is often more likelihood of health concerns for you or your babies. Your babies are monitored closely throughout the pregnancy, this just ensures that everyone is healthy. Carrying multiples involves more of a time investment than carrying a singleton due to additional visits and testing. Being a parent to multiples there are financial struggles surrounding the care of your babies and having to provide double the amount of childcare and feeding costs. This increases the likelihood of experiencing anxiety, or PMADs.
Many women find the start of their breastfeeding journey to be and full of questions and with some challenges. We love helping you get feedings off to a great start with our quick, responsive, in-home services. When baby needs support with getting feedings going well we are there to share strategies and simplify routines to help your reach your feeding goals whatever they may be.
