Postpartum Planning and Plans

CONGRATULATIONS!  You or a loved one is having a baby!  Whether it is the first or the fourth baby, planning for the postpartum or fourth trimester is essential to starting your family.

A postpartum plan is just as important as a birth plan. These links are to different plans I have encountered searching for the ‘ultimate’ Postpartum Plan. Because everyone is unique in their needs and learning styles, I have decided not to reinvent the wheel but to allow you, as the new parent, to choose which plan will work best for you and your family.  

When you look at these plans, it is helpful to think of them as a worksheet to help you organize your thoughts and determine what you might need to reduce your stress and ease your transition into parenthood.

My hope is that you will find a plan that works best for you and your soon-to-be-new family. Please review this with your partner and any other individuals or supports that you would like to include in your new village.

These links are in no order and may include a plan and other support material that might help you and your loved ones.  

REMEMBER: There is no good or bad plan!  The best plan is the one that works for you!
