What to Expect in the Postpartum Period (and How to Prepare)

The postpartum period—often called the “fourth trimester”—is a time of incredible change, both physically and emotionally. Yet, many new parents are surprised by how much healing and support it takes to recover and adjust to life with a newborn. It’s not just about sleepless nights and baby snuggles—postpartum healing is a full-body experience that deserves preparation and care.

That’s why I’m so excited to announce my upcoming Postpartum Prep Mini-Course! This free course is designed to give you the knowledge and tools you need to navigate the postpartum period with confidence. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming:

What to Expect Physically After Birth

Your body goes through a lot during birth, and recovery takes time. Whether you’ve had a vaginal birth or a cesarean, we’ll explore what healing looks like, including managing postpartum bleeding, cramping, and stitches.

Must-Have Products (and Their Alternatives!)

Padsicles, belly bands, and perineal sprays—what’s worth the hype, and what’s not? Plus, I’ll share natural and budget-friendly alternatives to help you heal comfortably.

Emotional Recovery and Building Your Village

Postpartum isn’t just about physical healing—your emotional well-being is just as important. Learn how to recognize mood changes, ask for help, and surround yourself with the support you need.

When to Call Your Provider

Recovery doesn’t always go as planned, and knowing when to reach out for medical advice is essential for your health and peace of mind.

This mini-course is perfect for expectant parents, new moms, and anyone looking to support a loved one in their postpartum recovery. Stay tuned for the official launch—it’s going to be packed with practical advice, helpful tips, and plenty of encouragement to help you feel prepared and supported.

Keep an eye on this space (and your inbox!) for updates on when the course goes live. You won’t want to miss it!

Your postpartum healing matters, and I can’t wait to help you feel empowered every step of the way.
