I won’t lie to you and say that fatigue and hormones will help your decision making in the heat of the moment. You need to plan it in advance.

So much of having the postpartum experience you’ve dreamt about comes down to planning. Sure, sometimes things are out of your control. But you’ll avoid so many hiccups during those precious first months with your newest addition, and you’ll be so glad you took the time to think through all the scenarios before baby made their entrance.

 

Everything from the practical stuff, to support when you get home, mental health check ins, learning your parenting priorities, boundaries with visitors, and so many more of the questions that you really don’t think about until you’re deep in that situation. Talking these things out ahead of time allows you to think through the big things and create a plan of action that will best suit your needs and values as a family.

 

Stress about how to handle all the new situations is a guest that is simply not invited to your postpartum party. And the mental clarity and ability to check your anxieties at the door is invaluable when you get to fully focus on your little one (and you!) instead.

First Things First

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is it really that bad if I don’t plan every little thing about my postpartum experience and new baby?

    This planner exists because so many clients told me they wished they’d talked about more scenarios before they were thrown into them. We go into parenthood assuming our partner is on the same page, or you’ll clearly know what to do. In reality, not planning leaves room for anxiety, insecurity as a parent, and making important decisions on the fly.

  • What if I change my mind after I’ve planned it all out?

    That’s totally fine! The truth is, sometimes things won’t go like you imagined, and you’ve just gotta roll with it. However, the vast majority will go like you plan, and you’ll be really proud of yourself for thinking it through already.

  • But what if planning isn’t my thing?

    I hear you! But remember that even if taking the time to talk through all the big questions doesn’t sound like your idea of fun, know that you’re about to be put into uncharted waters (in the best way!). There’s going to be situations, questions, and factors that also “aren’t fun”, but you’ll be prepared and know how to handle them.
