Positive Postnatal Planning

You just gave birth and now it’s time to leave the maternity and take your new baby home – Now what? What will life with a newborn really be like? Will the family be able to sleep? What should I be eating? How do I get support without my family or friends near me? These are just some of the questions that new parents face when baby arrives home.

Taking time to plan your post-birth time can help to answer these questions and more. You created your birth plan but why not create a plan for after the baby arrives.

The 'Positive Postnatal Planning’ workshop is for pregnant parents-to-be to do just that – to create their postnatal plan so that you have a smooth transition to parenthood.   The workshop provides practical information on how to prepare for and write a plan for a positive postnatal experience. Topics include:

· Rest & Physical Recovery

· Mental Health

· Nourishment

· Family Sleep

· Relationship & Social Support

It is open to Message members and non-members (for an additional fee). The workshop will be held virtually.

The class is taught by Message member and volunteer, Victoria White, a certified and mentored birth and postnatal Doula. (https://www.victoriawhitebirth.com/)
