TAKEAWAYS

1. Plan for your postpartum time like you are planning for your birth. Think of the options you have available to you, find the support you need in advance, etc. 2. Be gentle with yourself (physically and emotionally) during this time. Your body is changing, your hormones are shifting, you're leaking, you have to try to care for yourself and your baby (and may your other older children), etc. 3. Listen to your gut. Our motherly instincts are spot on a lot of the time. Take other people's advice with a grain of salt and ultimately do what is best for you and your baby.
