Life after birth is covered in the final chapter, starting with the phases of the postpartum period and what to expect from physical recovery in the first six weeks, including fatigue, afterbirth pains and when light exercise can help. It explains the emotional ups and downs, the baby blues that usually fade within two weeks, and how postpartum depression differs. Nutrition for healing and breastfeeding is discussed, including protein, iron, vitamin B12 and DHA, along with the benefits of breastfeeding for you and your baby. The chapter closes with resuming daily activities gradually, scheduling a postpartum check-up, setting realistic expectations and leaning on your support system.
