Postpartum Online Resources
We spend a lot of time preparing for the birth of our baby, only to realize our postpartum time needed just as much planning. Our team of postpartum doulas compiled some of our favorite online resources on all things postpartum.
Earth Mama Organics: Lying-in Plan
You have your birth plan, now you need your postpartum plan. If you’re not taking advantage of postpartum planning support, we highly recommend using the Earth Mama Organics lying-in plan. Here you can create a plan to ensure you have time to heal, bond with your baby, and receive the support you need.
Post-Birth Warning Signs
After your baby is born, your attention will move from yourself to them. It’s so easy to miss signs your postpartum healing may be having some complications. We recommend printing this out to have handy the first few weeks postpartum.
