The big day has come. Your baby is here! Now it's time to focus on getting to know your new bundle, but first, you have to navigate the immediate postpartum recovery.

Those first few hours and weeks post-birth have many physical and hormonal changes. From recovery from a vaginal or cesarean birth, postpartum bleeding, and fundal massage to navigating your need for sleep, immediate postpartum recovery is something many do not expect.

No matter how your baby was born, there will be challenges in your physical recovery and your transition into parenthood. As doulas, we like to help clients plan ahead for these transitions.
