Navigating the Changes
After childbirth, a woman’s body undergoes significant changes, from physical recovery to emotional shifts. Common experiences during this time include:

Hormonal Fluctuations: The rapid changes in hormones can affect your mood, energy levels, and even your physical sensations. It’s not uncommon to feel a mix of emotions as you navigate this new chapter.
Breastfeeding Adjustments: Many new mothers encounter challenges with breastfeeding, whether it's issues with latching, milk supply, or general discomfort.
Sleep Disruptions: Caring for a newborn often means sleepless nights, which can lead to fatigue and stress.
