Show notes: Planning for post-partum can sometimes get overlooked with all the focus on actually getting baby here. But life does go on and now you have a baby to care for and your body has just been stretched and worked to the max. Maybe you even had major surgery to get that little one here safely. Either way, now you've got some recovery to do yourself along with a new baby to care for. Not to mention what's going on with your emotions, with all those hormones surging around, and going through a major life transition! It's a lot – to say the least. The post-partum period is no joke. But with preparation and good support it doesn't have to be overwhelming. In this episode, we talk about the first hour after birth; your four main post-partum jobs (eating, drinking, sleeping, and nursing); what to expect with post-partum bleeding; how to avoid isolation; what's normal or not concerning the baby blues; and putting support systems in place to help you navigate this time.
