POSTPARTUM PREPARED
A CLASS FOR BIRTHING PARENTS
This is an 8-session class to prepare you for the 4th trimester, transitioning into motherhood and beyond. Many new parents (myself included) have asked in exasperation “Why doesn’t anyone talk about this?!” when expressing the surprise and frustration they experience in their transition to parenthood and caring for a new baby.
Becoming a new parent doesn’t have to be filled with surprise, frustration, isolation or a sense a failure. With preparation and guidance you can anticipate and prepare for the major changes that come with the arrival of a new baby, and meet that arrival with confidence.
In this class you will:
learn and practice self-regulation strategies
examine your values and roles
learn about matresence (i.e. the process of becoming a mother)
identify your support network
plan for and identify the supportive and nurturing aspects that will be right for you
examine your identity and anticipate how it may change with the arrival of your new baby
receive guidance on the must-have conversations to discuss with your partner before baby comes
identify your current routines and how to adapt your routines for success once you are caring for a new baby
Understanding the pregnancy journey and planning for birth are essential. And so is preparing for postpartum!
What is it going to look like, feel like, be like once baby get’s here? How will I respond to the changes? Who will be there to support me? What kind of mother do I want to be?
We will explore these questions and more so you can be postpartum prepared!
It really does take a village and every new mother deserves a supportive and nurturing transition into one of the most sacred roles there is, motherhood.
