Most expectant mamas attend a childbirth education class and talk about what birth might be like. Friends and family members will share stories of their pregnancies and birth experiences. Expectant mamas spend time and money planning baby's nursery, getting maternity or birth photographs taken, and buying essential baby gear. But something's missing! Pregnant moms are not provided with information about what postpartum may look like or how to heal. This is evident because:

• Up to 90% of mamas experience postpartum back or pelvic pain.
• 56% of women experience pain that interferes with daily life in the first two months postpartum.
• 1 in 5 mamas suffers from a perinatal mood & anxiety disorder.
• 50% of women don't breastfeed for as long as they intend to.
• Urinary continence affects up to 60% of women postpartum.

Postpartum can be TOUGH, but there are ways that expectant moms can prepare and set themselves up for success. Education is a powerful tool. This course is my way of bridging that gap and providing that missing link when it comes to maternal healthcare.
