Postpartum is defined as the period following birth and commonly associated with six weeks of recovery after birth, eight if by cesarian section. Let's be real; the postpartum period is longer than that, filled with multiple roller coasters at different speeds and heights. Just like every birth and child is different, so is the postpartum experience. Many make the mistake of stating maternity and paternity leave as vacation; think again.
Each journey is characterized by different aspects and cannot be compared. 42 Days Postpartum: A New Mom's Candid Memories is a six-week reflection of a first-time mom's postpartum experience. The inserts are candid, dynamic, unfeigned, emotive, poignant, engaging, and thought-provoking. Join a new mom on her journey and facilitate the conversation. Mothers are often given a lot of information/support on pregnancy and birth but are left with pamphlets and guessing for the postpartum period. Let's talk about it.
