A Cesarean Birth Needs a Postpartum Plan too 💛
So much attention goes into preparing for birth—but what about after baby arrives?
Especially after a cesarean, having a solid postpartum plan can make all the difference.
As a birth doula, I help clients map out support systems, recovery needs, and realistic expectations—because healing from a C-section is a major abdominal surgery and the beginning of your parenting journey.
Here’s what a cesarean-specific postpartum plan can help you prepare for:
💤 Prioritizing rest (yes, really)
🍼 Feeding support (whether nursing, pumping, or formula)
🙌 Asking for + receiving help
🧼 Managing household tasks + visitors
💊 Pain management and emotional care
🤱 Making space to bond with your baby and heal yourself
✨ I created a Postpartum Plan Template just for Cesarean parents, so you don’t have to start from scratch. It’s gentle, thorough, and designed to help you feel more confident heading into recovery.
