38) Beyond the Baby Gear: How to Plan for a Supported Postpartum Recovery

Postpartum is one of the most transformative seasons of your life, yet it’s the one we often prepare for the least. In this episode of Dam Parenting, we sit down with Amsterdam-based postpartum specialist Heather Berry to take a warm, honest, and direct look at the "fourth trimester."

Forget the nursery decor—we’re talking about the human infrastructure you need to thrive. ⁠Heather Berry⁠⁠ explains why building a solid support network before the baby arrives is crucial, especially for international parents living away from family. We dive into the physical and emotional realities of recovery, how to identify your "people," and why asking for help is a skill you need to practice. From professional resources to local community ties, this episode provides a realistic roadmap for navigating the unpredictable days after birth with grace and confidence. You don’t have to do this alone, and this conversation shows you how to ensure you won’t.
