Postpartum Plan….do you have one?

We tend to get all caught up in our birth plan and forget that we really need a postpartum plan too.   A little guide for us to follow during one of the most wonderful, emotional, crazy time in our lives.    It’s wonderful having a baby but it’s also tiring, stressful and an emotional roller coaster.      We can reduce the effects of what having a baby does on our body and mind by taking care of ourselves.  It’s just as important as caring for baby. 

Here is a sample of my postpartum plan.   You may think, “WHAT?!?!?! I can’t stay in bed that long”, but it really is very important for you and your baby to just be together in bed.
