Let’s Prepare You for Motherhood!
Breath! Push! Here they are!
From natural births to C-sections, hospital births to at-home, birthing a baby to birthing your placenta, to learning to feed and take your first poop, there is much to unpack in the first few days. Let’s start at the very beginning when Baby first arrives and put it all out on the table!
Healing Your Mind & Your Body
Not only can the postpartum fluctuations of your hormones send you on a roller coaster of emotions, but they also impact your body. Let’s get into all the emotional and physical details, like prioritizing time for your self-care or night sweats that drench your sheets so that you can be prepared.
You Can Do This
The journey into motherhood can be intimidating and cause self-doubt. With such high societal expectations, heightened emotions, and a severe lack of sleep, it is easy to feel less than you are. Remember, you are doing a good job. There are many styles of being a good mom. Give yourself some grace, shed those expectations, and know that you’ve got this!
A note from Jessica Dawson
Your mom-friend through postpartum!
Around eight months into my pregnancy, a close friend introduced me to the concept of the “Fourth Trimester.” Grateful for her support and insights from my other mom friends, I realized not all soon-to-be moms have a support system that will give them a heads up on the postpartum experience.
Many women are unprepared for the messy, hormonal, and often unspoken realities of postpartum life. While there’s abundant information about pregnancy and the baby, there’s a gap in resources addressing the mom’s experience.
That inspired me to create a guide for new moms, offering confidence through the highs and lows, reassuring them of their abilities as great mothers, even in challenging moments, and promoting self-care, even if it’s just a few precious minutes in the shower.
So let’s sit down, relax, and talk through the extraordinary journey of motherhood, together!
