Postpartum Planning Sessions

When people hear the word "postpartum" many automatically think of postpartum depression.  There's more to your postpartum than just mood.

Your postpartum period can be defined as:

Physically
The time after your deliver your baby until your reproductive organs return to the pre-pregnancy state in five to seven weeks.

Emotionally
Adjusting to the new "normal" life while bringing a new baby into the family unit.  

The emotional adjustments can take far longer for some new parents than the physical adjustments.

How can you best plan for both the physical and emotional adjustments after the birth of your child?
