Pregnancy Through Postpartum Workbook
Your guide to transitioning to parenthood and building a confident family
Preparing for your birth — and the day, weeks, and months after you welcome your new baby home — can be such an exciting time.
It can also be overwhelming, nerve-wracking, and exhausting. And it can feel like you’re handling it all alone… even when everybody and their brother has unsolicited tips, tricks, and advice for you! But you’re not alone.
This workbook cuts through the noise.
We’ll share all the basics — plus some surprising advice from our decades of experience as birth and postpartum doulas — to help you feel confident and thrilled to bring your baby into the world and home to your family.
It’s full of lists, conversation starters, and information from our experienced TROOP of birth and postpartum experts, to help you prepare and feel confident in your transition to parenthood.
