Giving birth is a beautiful journey—but recovery doesn’t stop at delivery. The postpartum period (first 6 weeks after childbirth) is a time of healing, adjustment, and self-care.

Your body is recovering from labor, your hormones are shifting, and you’re learning to care for your baby. It’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed.

Key tips for a healthy recovery:

• Rest as much as possible, especially during your baby’s naps.

• Eat nutritious meals and stay hydrated to promote healing.

• Ask for help—don’t try to do it all.

• Watch for signs of postpartum depression like persistent sadness, fatigue, or anxiety. You are not alone, and help is available.

Remember, healing looks different for everyone. Be kind to yourself and speak with your healthcare provider about anything that doesn’t feel right.
