Holistic Postpartum Plan PDF Download

Download a unique holistic postpartum plan guide with a license for limited commercial use - so doulas, birthworkers, antenatal teachers, hypnobirthing teachers and midwives can print to give as handouts to clients and use as a tool to discuss how to prepare for thriving after birth. An excellent accompaniment to my illustrated plan template https://wombtoworldart.etsy.com/uk/listing/1350676035/visual-postpartum-plan-pdf-template

This content is based on my experience and my own research for my births, and isn't intended to replace any caregiver advice.

The way that we are loved and cared for after birth impacts us for the rest of our life. Ancient postpartum care practices helped new mothers to rest and replenish with practical, social and emotional support - going well beyond a couple of weeks in bed and the pressure to ‘bounce back’ as quickly as possible.

We are spiritual beings, having a human experience in a physical body. Our holistic wellbeing is made up of emotional, physical and spiritual health - and those parts are interconnected. If one element is out of balance, blocked or experiencing constriction - it affects the others too.

By preparing for a restful, slow, and nurturing ‘fourth trimester’ - and considering our postpartum plan with a mind-body-spirit approach - we can help ourselves to heal more deeply, replenish more fully, and just feel better - both in the short and long term.

It's so incredibly important to prepare for your Fourth Trimester. Every family needs a plan for postpartum!

❤️ Practical support (Help with household tasks like cleaning cooking washing, childcare for older children, doing shopping)

❤️ Nourishment (Hydration, collagen-rich warming foods, batch cooking meals in freezer, organising meal train, wholesome snacks, probiotic and prebiotics)

🧡 Physical recovery (rest rest rest! Mother warming, belly wrapping, loving touch, closing the bones ceremony, chiropractic, scar tissue massage, postnatal yoga)

💛Emotional health (hypnotherapy and guided relaxation, affirmations, EFT tapping, talking therapy, writing birth story, journaling, homeopathy and flower remedies)

💛 Spiritual wellbeing (chakra balancing, closing energy field meditation, meditation, grounding practices, prayer, crystal healing, connection to spirit guides and ancestors)

💚 Relationships (Support and understanding of mothers and wise women, postnatal doula, friends, family, connection with partner)

💚 Connection to nature (pregnancy is expansive, and after birth it helps recovery to bring our energy back down to earth, to ground ourselves, to close our energy field, to connect to the earth at a time of so much change, demand on our body and withdrawal from usual activities. Essential oils, herbal tea, herbal salt baths, fresh air, fresh flowers)

The margins when you print the page are down to individual printer settings and alignment and are not controlled by the file. If you print and it doesn't look as per the file, you could check common things that affect print quality such as:

are you printing at 'best' quality?
do you have ink saver mode on?
do your inks need replacing?
does your printer need recalibrating/printer head need realigning?
do you need to re-align your paper?
have you selected the paper/card type you're using in your printer settings?
have you selected 'scale to fit printable area' to fill your paper as much as your printer will allow?
are your inks manufacturer- recommended?
Is the paper you're using high quality?
do the printer heads and cartridges need cleaning?
