Physical Recovery & Nourishment
Your body has accomplished something extraordinary. Prioritize warm, easily digestible nutrient-dense foods—slow-cooked bone broths, whole grains, and herbal teas. Keep skin supple with pure botanical balms free of synthetic fragrances.
The Emotional Tide
The steep drop in progesterone and estrogen during the first two weeks often causes the 'baby blues'. Give yourself permission to feel, cry, and ask for help without guilt or pressure to 'bounce back'.
