The postpartum period involves your moving through many changes, both emotionally and physically.
You are also learning how to deal with all the changes needed with becoming a new mother.
The postpartum period also involves you and your partner learning how to care for your newborn and learning how to function as a changed family unit.
Most new mothers don’t return to work for at least the first six weeks after birth.
This allows time to adapt and develop a new normal.
Since a baby has to be fed and changed often, you may experience sleepless nights.
