“I've heard postpartum is a hard adjustment; is it going to be like that for me?”
One of the hardest things about postpartum is how different it is from what’s expected. We go over every significant postpartum change so your expectations better align with your reality.
So many couples struggle with this big transition. How can we stay strong?
Research shows that the happiest couples during postpartum are those who approach it as a team. This book includes discussion guides and relationship tools to help you build a strong foundation for the ups and downs of new parenthood.

“ I wish I had this with my first baby. I was really caught off guard with what it felt like. My transition would have been so much easier if I had a plan.”
We went through it so that you don't have to.
Things were not easy for us when we were postpartum with our first babies. We were prepared for labor and delivery with our hospital bags and birth plans, but once we got home from the hospital, we realized we weren’t prepared for life beyond the birth plan. Even as therapists, we were surprised by how little we knew about the postpartum adjustment.
We were going through big shifts in our bodies, minds, and relationships. We wondered if what we felt was normal, and we had a hard time knowing how to navigate all the changes.
We were left figuring it all out as we went and felt lost in the process.
It won’t be like that for you.
We created this workbook so you have what we didn't: an informed and empowered postpartum experience.
