E. 80 Postpartum Preparation vs. RealityThis is an episode on my postpartum healing journey and what preparations we set up ahead of time for support. The most important piece of advice I've heard and followed is the 5-5-5 rule. Once you have a baby, your body needs to rest and recover. A great way to support your healing is to spend 5-6 days completely resting in bed. Then the next 5 days on the bed or close to the bed with rest at the forefront. Finally the last 5 days you should still be resting "close" to the bed. This is the bare minimum for allowing your body to recover. I share more tips in this episode!
