Your Body After Giving Birth: Guide + 2 Bonuses
In the United States, many moms go back to work at six weeks, with little paid leave and without the support network families used to have. This guide covers the first 12 weeks after birth: what's normal to feel, which signs need care right away, and how to look after yourself without pressure to "bounce back."
When you finish it, you'll be able to:
- Know what's normal in the first weeks
- Recognize the signs that need prompt care
- Tell the common baby blues apart from what needs mental health support
- Make the most of your postpartum checkup
It's for you if:
- You just had a baby or are about to
- You're going back to work with a short leave
- Your mom and family aren't nearby
This bundle includes 3 PDFs:
- The guide "Your Body After Giving Birth: A Guide to the First 12 Weeks" (11 pages)
- Bonus 1: The 12-Week Calendar (6 pages)
- Bonus 2: Questions for Your Postpartum Checkup (5 pages)
This material is educational and doesn't replace medical care. Get care right away if you have heavy bleeding, fever, a severe headache or vision changes, chest pain, trouble breathing, pain or swelling in one leg, or thoughts of hurting yourself or your baby.
