Recovery timeline
From the first 24 hours through twelve months, keyed to you.
-
First 24 hours
What the first day after birth often feels like in your body.
-
First week
Bleeding, pain, feeding, visitors — a mother-first week one.
-
First six weeks
The check-up, sex, work thoughts, and what ‘healed’ is not.
-
Six weeks to three months
When the adrenaline fades.
-
Three to six months
Sleep debt, cycles returning, identity.
-
Six to twelve months
The year nobody put in the pregnancy app.
