To best support your partner in the postpartum period, you need to know the physical and emotional signs that she needs more help. In this class we discuss postpartum depression, anxiety and the "baby blues" - as well as outside resources that are available for new moms.
Class Description
In addition to covering the effects of postpartum adjustment on moms, we'll dive into a list of ways that you can help in the first few weeks and months - everything from household chores to rubbing her feet, so you can be her unsung hero during this time and you feel confident that you are being a good provider and support to your new family.
Sessions Overview
- Signs of Postpartum Depression: What to look for physically and emotionally to tell if she's experiencing postpartum depression, anxiety or the "Baby Blues" - as well as knowing outside resources to reach out to for help if she needs it.
- Supporting HER in Postpartum: Being a great support during this time means doing a lot of household chores, creating "Feeding Nests" for your spouse, being willing to let her "tap out" when she's overwhelmed, no matter how tired you are. This and many other tips will help you to be seen as the "rock star dad" in her eyes.
