Postpartum Health and Recovery

No matter how you gave birth, the first six weeks postpartum are considered a recovery period. Your body has been stretched and stressed to the max, and it needs a chance to regroup. Keep in mind that every new mum is different, so every woman will recover at a different rate with different postpartum symptoms. Many of these ease up within a few weeks, while others might stick around until your baby is a little older.

Most new mums experience mood swings, exhaustion, and some level of ´baby blues´ after birth. Postpartum depression affects 10-20% of new mothers. If you are wondering what is normal and what is not normal after birth, then our comprehensive postpartum recovery resources will help answer many of your questions.
