About The Birthplace Doula | Janet Purcell

It’s hard to ask for help sometimes. I found it hard too with my first baby. I felt an overwhelming pressure to be all things to all people, all of the time. It simply wasn’t possible. My husband worked away and I didn’t have family nearby. I underestimated how much of my energy and attention my new bundle of joy would need so I hadnt really prepared either. It was really hard.
When my next baby was on the way, I called people to delegate jobs, responsibilities and I planned to be prepared this time. I was prepared and I still had hard days but being able to ask and accept help made a huge difference.
I know inviting a stranger into your home is difficult. I’m more than happy to provide you with all the information you need to feel more comfortable. I’m currently work as a nurse however my role with you would be non medical. Please read my About Me page to get to know me a little more and feel free to drop me a message with any queries you may have.
