You are in those final weeks of pregnancy, packing your hospital bag and realizing you’ve spent so much time preparing for labor and meeting your baby… that you haven’t really thought about what happens to your own body after delivery.
You have been told postpartum recovery is mostly about resting in bed and taking it easy after birth.
What if one of the best things you could do for your recovery was actually getting up and moving—at the right time, in the right way, and understanding exactly why your care team encourages it?
As a Registered Nurse with 15 years of OBGYN and postpartum experience, I help moms understand what’s happening to their bodies so they can feel more prepared and less anxious during recovery.
After delivery, your nurses will encourage you to get up and move when it’s safe.
For many moms, this feels surprising because you just did something physically exhausting… and now you’re being asked to move your body.
Knowing what to expect can help you feel less caught off guard during those first postpartum hours.
If you’re preparing for postpartum recovery and want to know what those first days can look like—and the why behind everything your care team asks you to do—comment or DM “POSTPARTUM5.” I’ll send you all the details on how virtual visits with an OBGYN Registered Nurse can support you throughout your postpartum recovery. It’s a game changer. 🫶🏼
