“Birth is a moment. Post partum is a whole chapter”
I read this earlier and it really struck a cord.
People focus so much on the birth and its preparation, which is pivotal of course, but not everyone realises the importance of post birth preparation and planning, too.
It truly takes a village, so being prepared to allow yourself space and time to heal, recover and be surrounded by love and support is key 🔑
Accepting that you won’t bounce back straight away, and leaning into quietness, gentle and slow days is so important as you transition into parenthood. Comfy clothes, minimal visitors, filling your freezers with batch cooked meals, accepting help, if you can budget for a cleaner/dog walker etc to lighten the load for the first few weeks that may help to give you the time you need to prioritise recovery and restfulness 🤍
