anything that’s heavier than your baby while you’re
recovering. This is especially important if you’ve
had a C-section delivery.

- Limiting your stair climbing: During the first

week, you should try and cut down on the amount
of stair climbing. Try to limit the number of trips
you take up and down the stairs each day while you
heal.

labor. might not be the best time to host guests. Know
that it’s OK to limit visitors or say no completely to
company for the first few weeks. During this time,
you’ll be adjusting to your new life with your baby,
as well as healing from your delivery.

- Asking for help: Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Let your family and friends know ways they can
help you. This could mean cooking meals, helping
with laundry, doing household chores, babysitting
siblings, or stopping at the store to pick up food
and supplies.

- Not striving for perfection: When you do have

visitors, try not to stress over small messes. People
are coming over to see you and your new baby, not
a perfectly clean home. Don’t push yourself to
make your home look perfect during this time.
