Postpartum
What is Postpartum?
Postpartum refers to the period following childbirth, typically lasting six weeks, during which a new mother undergoes significant physical, emotional, and lifestyle adjustments. It is marked by a range of experiences, including hormonal fluctuations, physical recovery from childbirth, sleep deprivation, and emotional changes. For many women, this phase can bring about intense emotions, such as joy, anxiety, sadness, or mood swings, commonly referred to as the “baby blues.” All of these experiences are completely normal, however, they can be increasingly overwhelming to deal with on your own.
