Typically those first few days with a newborn are filled with a roller-
coaster of feelings and “congratulation” cards, visitors, calls and support.

However in this current climate so much has changed and you may instead be filled with anxiety and fear at what the future might hold as you plan for a postpartum without the care that you may have been depending on.

When thinking about life with a newborn baby, you could be thinking about how to access the support that you so need and deserve and worried about how best to plan for a postpartum that is now different from your expectations. 

"The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. ... A mother is something absolutely new." — Osho

The transition into motherhood and the 24/7 care of your newborn will challenge and transform you on every level whether you be a brand new parent or are welcoming a subsequent baby into your family....

And if you haven't prepared for this transition, your chance of having a smooth and peaceful postpartum is little to none.

Those First Weeks Are Meant To Be The Happiest Time, However Without Proper Preparation So Many Mothers Are Struggling

But it needn't be this way...  

Women and partners who invest time and energy into planning for and being supported during their postpartum weeks have a different story. They report feeling nurtured, nourished and less stressed as well as more confident, prepared and satisfied as new parents. 

During times of uncertainty, it is even more important to plan for your
postpartum so that you are prepared for life with your newborn

Unfortunately however, postpartum planning is often woefully overlooked as we focus instead on the pregnancy and birth.

Many expectant mothers feel that they've done all the right things, like spending countless hours researching their pregnancy symptoms, buying all the must haves, planning for their ideal birth and daydreaming of their new arrival, however, the most critical 'to-do' that will provide for an easier and more seamless transition into motherhood sadly remains undone....

But for those women who do know, a more peaceful and joyful postpartum awaits them.

All it takes is an intentional dose of courage and an understanding of the importance of the postpartum weeks as being vitally important for the health and wellbeing of a mother and the family as a whole.

Even in times of crisis it is still possible to have a peaceful and positive postpartum with your new baby

But it's important to understand that a positive postpartum experience needs to be thought about and planned for in advance during pregnancy so that you are prepared with the care and knowledge that you need.

While the majority of new mothers will struggle through their postpartum, there is a big opportunity for those who see the sense in doing something different — in choosing an alternative way; a way that has been used by many other cultures for centuries.

All over the world and in virtually every indigenous culture there are systems in place focussed on the care and attention to a new mother after the birth of her baby.

'The Golden Month' in China, 'The Sacred Window' in India, or 'La Cuarentena' in South America, each signifies a period of time (often 30 to 40 days) where the newborn mother is cared for, nurtured and nourished so that she has the time and space to heal, recover and rejuvenate.

However, for those women who don't have access to these transformative traditions, there is still hope...
