38) Postpartum care with Heather

Postpartum is one of the most transformative and challenging times in motherhood, and no matter how much you prepare, you can never truly be ready. But what if you could prepare in a way that helps you navigate the physical and emotional changes with grace? In this episode, ⁠Heather Berry⁠, a postpartum support service provider in Amsterdam, helps us focus on building a solid support system before baby arrives.

We’re not just talking about shopping for the latest baby gear, but about the people and resources you can rely on during this precious and intense time. Heather shares insights on the reality of what you’ll go through postpartum and why it’s crucial to have a network to lean on, even when it’s hard to ask for help.

Key Takeaways:

  • The importance of setting up a support system before the baby comes, from professional support to friends and family.

  • Navigating the physical and emotional journey of postpartum and why you should give yourself grace during this time.

  • How to reflect on your support network and start identifying who can be there for you when you need it most.

  • Realistic advice on preparing for the unpredictable and trusting that you don’t need to do it alone.
