Скачать или смотреть i wasn’t ready for postpartum last time — here’s how i am planning different this time around

let’s chat postpartum 🤍

this is all about what postpartum was actually like for me the first time, the mistakes I made, and everything I’m doing differently this time to prepare in a more supportive, realistic way. from meal prep and recovery to self-care, support systems, and slowing down — this is postpartum prep for the wellness-loving, Type B, real-life mom.

WELCOMING ALL THE:

🤎 mamas preparing for postpartum
🧠 adhd / Type B girlies who need realistic systems
🍼 first-time moms who don’t know what to expect
☕ moms who want to feel supported

whether you're pregnant, newly postpartum, or reflecting on your own experience, I hope this feels like a cozy, honest chat that helps you feel a little less alone and a little more prepared 🤍
