Postpartum Wellness Plan for Expectant Mothers.
During our sessions we will set aside to consider the needs each mother after delivery and in bringing baby home. At Therapy For Moms, we have found in practice that having a plan sketched out in advance can serve new moms well.
A postpartum wellness plan is essential to support a woman’s physical and emotional well-being during the weeks and months following childbirth.
Here are a few elements that can be included in a comprehensive postpartum wellness plan:
Setting Boundaries:
Establish clear boundaries with visitors and well-wishers to ensure you have the space and time you need for rest, recovery, and bonding with your baby. Communicate these boundaries ahead of time to reduce potential stress during your postpartum period.
Postpartum Education:
Educate yourself about common postpartum experiences, such as baby blues, postpartum recovery, and infant care, to be better prepared for the challenges and changes. Consider attending a class or reading trusted resources to feel more confident in navigating this new chapter.
Emotional Support:
Arrange for a support system of friends and family who can provide emotional support, encouragement, and a listening ear during the postpartum period. Joining a postpartum support group can also help you connect with other moms experiencing similar challenges.
Mental Health Check-In:
Schedule regular check-ins with a mental health professional to monitor and address any postpartum mood disorders, such as postpartum depression or anxiety. Early intervention can make a significant difference in your emotional well-being.
Self-Care Routine:
Develop a self-care routine that includes time for relaxation, personal grooming, and activities that bring joy and relaxation. Even small moments of self-care can help you recharge and maintain your mental and emotional well-being.
Nutrition and Hydration:
Plan a well-balanced and nutritious diet to support physical recovery and breastfeeding (if applicable). Stay hydrated to maintain energy levels. Preparing meals ahead of time or enlisting help can ease the stress of mealtime.
Exercise and Physical Recovery:
Discuss a postpartum exercise plan with a healthcare provider and gradually incorporate gentle physical activity to aid in recovery and boost mood. Start slow, and listen to your body as you rebuild strength and stamina.
Sleep and Rest:
Create a sleep schedule that maximizes restful sleep and ensures you are getting enough rest to recover physically and emotionally. Accept help for nighttime feedings if possible, and nap when the baby naps.
Baby Care Schedule:
Establish a routine for feeding, changing, and caring for your baby to reduce stress and create predictability in your daily life. Having a clear plan can also make it easier to share responsibilities with your partner or helpers.
Childcare Assistance:
Arrange for childcare help, whether it's from a partner, family member, or a professional, to allow you time for self-care and rest. Don’t hesitate to ask for support—taking time for yourself benefits both you and your baby.

FAQs: Postpartum Therapy
The “baby blues” often include mood swings, tearfulness, and mild anxiety that typically resolve within two weeks of childbirth. Postpartum depression is more intense, longer-lasting, and may include hopelessness, disconnection from your baby, or difficulty functioning. Postpartum therapy helps distinguish between the two and offers targeted emotional support for those struggling after birth.
If you’re feeling persistently sad, anxious, irritable, or disconnected from your baby or if you’re having trouble sleeping, eating, or managing daily tasks postpartum therapy can help. You don’t need to wait for a crisis; early support can make a big difference.
