The Postpartum Journey: Beyond the Six Weeks 🌿
Six weeks - the mythical date that *p**f* all physical and emotional healing is done and we either pass the six week office exam or something terrible happens and we don't pass (what does that even mean, not to pass??). But that appointment is NOT about the postpartum period. Remember, postpartum is lifelong. 🌟 Let's dive into why postpartum isn't a mere six weeks; it's a journey that unfolds, transforms, and deserves acknowledgment every step of the way.
🤱 The Myth of the Six-Week Marker:
The idea that postpartum ends at six weeks is a misconception. Physically, emotionally, and psychologically, this period continues to evolve, shape, and redefine itself. 🔄 Let's break free from the confines of timelines and embrace the unique rhythm of each postpartum journey. Traditionally, the "immediate" postpartum period is around six weeks or the amount of time it takes the body to finish the immediate healing process.
🌺 Beyond the Physical:
It's not just about the body healing; it's about a soul finding its new normal. 💖 Postpartum involves recalibrating, adjusting, and embracing the metamorphosis that extends far beyond the initial weeks. We follow the inherited knowledge that the next postpartum period is about 2 years long - including breastfeeding, a return to physical strain, in*******se, and a recalibrating of our new bodies and roles.
Our doulas are here to navigate this emotional terrain with you, offering guidance, a steady hand, and an understanding heart.
