Forget sleep training and perfect feeding schedules, we’re here for the mess and chaos that is motherhood.
We’re here on this journey with you. Through the sleepless nights, the anxiety, the joy, the smiles, the victories, the love, the chaos and the changes.
We’re here for the real motherhood journey.
Many expectant mothers prepare well – for pregnancy, birth and all things baby related after birth. But how well do we prepare for ourselves and for life after birth? Postpartum Directory is here to help you navigate those unchartered waters. We discuss common postpartum body changes, life after birth for new moms and how to navigate changes within your relationship with your spouse.
Typically after having a baby, we gravitate towards other women with children of the same age. it can be very enlightening and validating to have an open and honest discussion about the challenges of motherhood. As a mom of two, I often find myself asking “why did no one tell me” and why don’t we talk about this more?”
Our society has created a “supermom” culture which glorifies women burning the candle on both ends. We’re expected to work, keep house and raise children all in a days work, with a trusty glass of wine at the end of each day – Mom’s magic juice. Many mothers find themselves depressed, wondering how others do it, feeling a sense of failure and defeat. Postpartum Directory is here to let you know that you’re not alone and that no, you’re not a bad mom.
Follow us as we build this community and help us expand as we create a one stop shop for moms to get all the postpartum help and advice they need, from doctors and doulas to mom hacks and mom groups in your area.
