At Postpartum Care Collective, we believe that mothers deserve as much care and attention after birth as their newborns. Our mission is to make sure every mom feels supported, nurtured, and reminded that she’s not alone during the postpartum journey.
Postpartum Tips:
💜 Prioritize physical healing with rest
💜 Stay hydrated and proper nutrition
💜 Manage emotional changes by accepting help
💜 Join support groups
💜 Make time for self-care
Postpartum depression (PPD) affects many new moms — and it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
Some common signs may include:
🌿 Feeling sad, empty, or hopeless
🌿 Losing interest in things you once enjoyed
🌿 Trouble bonding with your baby
🌿 Changes in sleep or appetite
🌿 Feeling anxious, irritable, or overwhelmed
🌿 Thoughts of guilt, worthlessness, or self-doubt
If you recognize these feelings, please know that help is available — and asking for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. 💕
You deserve care, rest, and healing.
