The postpartum period is one of the most life‑altering and vulnerable windows in a mother’s life. Globally, hundreds of thousands of women die from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth each year, most of which are preventable with proper care and support.

The World Health Organization estimates that we are short nearly one million midwives worldwide, a gap that directly impacts survival, recovery, and long‑term health for birthing families. Without enough skilled support, mothers are left navigating their recovery alone at the very moment they need care most.

Yet in the 'United States' the focus before birth tends to be on baby showers, nursery gear, and preparing for the baby’s arrival. Resources, gifts, and attention are poured into “what the baby needs,” while investing in the mother’s health, healing, and long‑term well‑being is often an afterthought.

Despite how much time and resources are devoted to prenatal check‑ups, ultrasounds, and baby prep, the support system for the postpartum mother is often nonexistent. A mother may go from seeing her care provider multiple times a week right before birth to no formal check‑ins for six weeks or more after— a gap that puts lives at risk.

I’ve been there myself. Even as a trained birth worker, my own postpartum experiences were challenging because of the lack of communal awareness and structured support. I saw firsthand how, without education and guidance, mothers can feel overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure of how to care for themselves in the ways they so deeply want to.

That’s why I’ve created compact, accessible postpartum guides designed to get straight to the essentials of what you need in order to stay safe, supported, and thriving in your recovery. I know that in our community, money and access are real concerns, so these resources are intended to be useful, affordable, and practical helping you prioritize your care, your healing, and your postpartum experience.

Postpartum is a necessity not a luxury and every mother deserves quality care.
