What Happens in the First Hours Post-Birth?
The most common complaint I hear from new postpartum clients who did not have a birth doula is this: "I thought I was prepared for birth, but I didn't know what would happen right after the birth." In one moment, your life has completely shifted. All of the slow progress and hard work resulted in the birth of a little one (or two, three, etc!). The hours and days immediately after giving birth are a whirlwind of physical changes, hormonal shifts, and emotional highs and lows. Whether you've had a vaginal delivery or a cesarean section, this period, known as the postpartum phase, requires patience, support, and self-care to ensure a smooth recovery. Hereโs what you can expect during those first crucial moments and how you can help your body heal.
