A good preparation makes all the difference.

During my postpartum period, Fayette was truly invaluable. She helped create a sense of calm and order at home, brought groceries when needed, and even prepared my breakfast. That alone gave me so much breathing space. Simply being asked how the night had been was always comforting — it gave me room to share my story and my uncertainties. What I appreciated most was that Fayette always thought along with me, without judgment. She offered options — “would you like to try it this way or that way?” — which meant I never felt pressured, only supported.

I had a birth preparation call with Fayette and she took the time to talk me through what to expect and settle my nerves for the birth. She is a lovely warm person, very compassionate and kind. We talked through my birth plan and looked at how to amend it to get the best of what I wanted. She has so much knowledge so I was really happy that she helped me. I can definitely recommend Fayette as a doula to others! She speaks both Dutch and English very well, so can help expats too!

You want to do it right, but no one teaches you what you truly need after birth.

You are used to getting things organised. But the closer birth gets, the longer the list seems to grow.

Supplies, appointments, nutrition, a birth plan. And then there is the fourth trimester: the period in which your baby has arrived and you are recovering from nine months of pregnancy and an intense birth.

But how do you actually do that?

Because let’s be honest, once you hold your baby in your arms, your priorities shift. Everything revolves around caring for your baby, and you quickly come last.

Yet your recovery is just as important. It determines how you feel, and in turn, how your baby is doing.

I gathered my top 8 essentials in this guide, in the hope of helping you take the first steps towards a gentle and nourishing fourth trimester.
