Your baby's birth marks the beginning of a significant transition, not just for your newborn, but for you. The early postpartum weeks are often referred to as the fourth trimester, and while it is common to focus on preparing for birth, it is equally important to prepare for what comes after. Recovery can take longer than expected, and adjusting to life with a newborn brings emotional and physical challenges. In this episode, I will walk you through how to prepare for a smoother postpartum experience. We will cover how to set yourself up for rest, healing, and support so that your recovery is more comfortable and manageable.     Read the full article and resources that accompany this episode.     Check out the 40 Weeks podcast to learn how your baby grows each week and what is happening in your body.
