Postpartum recovery is a critical time for all moms, but being over 30 may come with unique challenges. Your body might recover differently than it did in your 20s, and balancing self-care with newborn care isn’t easy.

Becoming a mom for the first time is exciting, no matter your age, but when you’re over 30, you might feel like you have more to consider. Rest assured, being a first-time mom after 30 comes with its own unique set of strengths. You bring maturity, wisdom, and life experience to the journey!

If you’ve experienced a difficult or traumatic birth before, you may feel anxious about going through labor again. That’s completely normal—but with the right approach, this birth can be a healing and empowering experience.

Many people assume doulas are just for first-time moms, but experienced moms often benefit just as much from this kind of support. Whether you’re navigating a subsequent pregnancy after trauma or just want extra hands-on help, a doula can make a huge difference.
