SECOND WIND
POSTPARTUM CARE
Begin with you
01 / Your priorities
You may have thought about where baby will sleep, what to pack, and who will visit. This is a little space to think about how you want to be cared for.
What would make coming home feel easier?
Choose three. There is no perfect answer.
One thing I want my support people to know:
SECOND WIND
POSTPARTUM CARE
Prepare your space
02 / Within reach
Create one comfortable spot for yourself. Use what you already own, then add only what makes your day easier.
SECOND WIND
POSTPARTUM CARE
Choose your people
03 / Your support map
“We’ll figure it out” can leave you doing the figuring. Choose who can take responsibility for each task, and confirm what they can realistically offer.
Who can arrange food and handle the cleanup?
Who can take care of laundry, pets, or household errands?
Who can help with baby while you have time for yourself?
Who can manage school routines or coordinate visits?
If your circle is small, start with one dependable person and one specific request. Consider paid support for the gaps you want help filling.
SECOND WIND
POSTPARTUM CARE
Simplify the everyday
04 / Fewer decisions
A few decisions made ahead of time can give you less to organize once you are home. Start with the routines that take up the most space in your day.
Choose a few familiar meals, save a grocery list, and decide who will arrange food and clean up. Keep delivery details somewhere your support person can find them.
Our easiest meal options:
Decide when you would enjoy company and when you would prefer privacy. Let one trusted person coordinate timing so every request does not land with you.
Our preferred visiting times:
Choose the household tasks that matter most this week. Decide what someone else can own and what can wait. Your home does not need to be ready for guests.
One thing we can take off our list:
SECOND WIND
POSTPARTUM CARE
Make it yours
05 / Your first-week plan
Fill this in with your support person before baby arrives, or whenever you are ready. Revisit it as your needs change.
My three priorities
What would help me feel cared for?
Our daily plan
Who handles meals, home tasks, and time for me?
Our visitor plan
Who is welcome, when, and for how long?
When plans change
Who can we call if our first plan falls through?
