Not nearly enough people talk about how much support your body actually needs in the first 24 hours after birth. Not just emotionally, but physically. Getting up for the first time, remembering how to breathe properly, even sitting forward in bed can feel like far more than it looks.
What no one tells you is how alone that moment can feel. Working out how to move again with no one explaining the order it should happen in, or why it matters.
You're not meant to work this out on your own. Early movement after birth, done gently and in the right sequence, is one of the biggest things that shapes how the weeks ahead actually feel and it's exactly what our Foundations of Postpartum Recovery program is built around.
