#1 choice Mama’s wish they had made: More time to heal
Why is this time so important?
The postpartum period, often referred to as the "fourth trimester," is a critical phase for new mothers and their babies. This time focuses on recovery, bonding, and adjustment, significantly impacting both physical and emotional health. Approximately 20% of new mothers experience postpartum depression, and 80% report overwhelming feelings of anxiety and other symptoms previously described under the “baby blues” umbrella term. All birthing persons NEED support during this time.
During the hours, weeks, and months after giving birth hormone levels, particularly estrogen and progesterone, fluctuate dramatically as the body transitions back to a non-pregnant state. This hormone shift can cause physical symptoms like extreme fatigue, interrupted sleep patterns, anxiety, and discomfort in joints. The uterus contracts and returns to its pre-pregnancy size—a process that can take several weeks.
The importance of recovery extends beyond the person that gave birth. A well-recovered mother is more likely to engage in nurturing behaviors that influence the baby’s development, they are better equipped to respond to baby's needs, facilitating secure attachment and emotional regulation in the child. Breastfeeding success depends on maternal health. Postpartum recovery is not just a personal journey, but a foundational experience that influences family dynamics and child development.
Cultural traditions surrounding the postpartum period emphasize rest and support. Concepts like the "baby moon" or "lying-in" period encourage new mothers to take time for recovery, bonding, and nurturing, often supported by family members, elders, and birthworkers.
