Postpartum is so much more than the six-week check-up we’re told to aim for.
“Science says it can take four to six YEARS for the fascia, connective tissue, and hormones to truly come back online.”
And yet… somehow mothers are expected to “bounce back” in months.
The emotional load, the hormonal shifts, the healing, the identity change, all of it lands on a woman who’s suddenly receiving less support than ever.
You’re important when you’re pregnant.
People check in, offer help, bring gifts…
and then the baby arrives and everything drops off.
Postpartum isn’t just physical, it’s the shock of going from being held… to feeling invisible.
If you’re in it, you’re not alone.
