The days and weeks after birth are a time of healing, adjustment, and getting to know your new little love!

✨ Give yourself permission to slow down
✨ Rest whenever you can
✨ Accept help when it’s offered
✨ Focus on nourishing your body with simple, wholesome meals and plenty of fluids
✨ Keep essentials within reach
✨ Create a calm space to feed and settle your baby
✨ Don’t be afraid to prioritise your comfort whether that’s using supportive products, taking warm showers, or simply lying down.

Recovery isn’t a race and some days will feel easier than others, and that’s okay. Be patient with your body, kind to your mind, and remember healing takes time 🤍

This one is for the partners!

There are many ways you can provide support to your partner in labour during this vulnerable time, whether that’s keeping the environment calm, advocating for them when they can’t, or asking questions when necessary.

Labour isn’t always calm birth playlists and pretty lighting. Sometimes it’s gripping the wall, breathing deeply, and doing whatever helps you get through the next wave.

Postpartum healing both physically and mentally is not limited to the usual 6 week medical checkpoint. Often, it can take many months for the body to fully recover. The fourth trimester deserves just as much attention as pregnancy! 💛

Think about what will help you feel most supported and build your postpartum plan around that. Consider your support network, nutrition, whether you will be breastfeeding, household, boundaries, medical check-ups, and strategies for rest.

Are you thinking about using a TENS machine for your labour? When it comes to using a TENS timing is important!

• Start using your TENS in early labour when contractions first begin and are regular
• It works best before pain becomes intense and the earlier you start the more endorphins that will build
• Ensure you have your TENS ready to go by 36 weeks
The TENS is a beautiful simple, drug-free way to support your labour journey ✨
