But the sad fact is that, despite the excitement that preparing for a new baby brings, so many new parents find themselves completely unprepared, overwhelmed, exhausted and under supported over the postpartum weeks and months.

It doesn't have to be this way ...

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

But  I promise that it needn't be this way...  

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

We often prioritise planning for our baby's 'birth'-day,  however, I believe that it's equally important to plan for your postpartum so that you are prepared for life with your newborn.

The truth is that postpartum 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.

But it's important to understand that to experience this,  your postpartum weeks need 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 and new parents 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 of us who don't have access to these transformative traditions, there is still hope..
