#36: Preparing for postpartum in pregnancy with Postpartum Doula Danielle Bensky

Happy New Year to those listening just as this episode airs. We are just a few days into 2023 and that marks 1 year since I started working on this podcast full time. To mark this beautiful celebration I'm coming out with a mini series of 3 solo episodes dedicated to postpartum preparation and expectations. Think of it like your mini course with me on how to get ready for postpartum. This first episode will be all about preparing for postpartum in pregnancy where I'll be explaining about what can an expecting family start doing in order to help themselves  have a supported postpartum experience. I also talk about why this can often feel overwhelming for couples, especially when it's the first child, and give ideas on small steps and actions you can take to start you off. Welcome to this 3 part mini series! Thank you for being here with me and let's get started on today's episode with yours truly.  Show notes:  Danielle's website www.motherstransition.com - download the Asking for Help guide at the bottom of the page Schedule a Discovery Call with Danielle https://www.motherstransition.com/contact The Fourth Trimester book https://www.adlibris.com/fi/kirja/the-fourth-trimester-9781611804003 The First Forty Days book https://www.adlibris.com/fi/kirja/the-first-forty-days-9781617691836 Seven Sisters for Seven Days book https://www.adlibris.com/fi/kirja/seven-sisters-for-seven-days-the-mothers-manual-for-community-based-postpartum-care-9781939807892 Purna Yoga Childbirth Education course https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ASP/main_enroll.asp?studioid=14837&tg=42&vt=1052&lvl=&stype=-8&view=week&trn=100000003&page=&catid=&prodid=&date=12%2f14%2f2022&classid=0&prodGroupId=&sSU=&optForwardingLink=&qParam=&justloggedin=&nLgIn=&pMode=0&loc=1 Purna Yoga classes https://www.purnayoga.fi/en/pregnancy-birth-and-postnatal/ Mentioned topics:  Why is pregnancy the best time to start thinking about postpartum?  Why can it feel strange and overwhelming?  What can you do to start thinking about postpartum in pregnancy? Look for childbirth education courses that have a session about postpartum as well. Understanding that postpartum, as birth, can be unexpected.
