The 6-week checkup is often treated like a finish line. But your body is still healing, adjusting, and recovering. Postpartum recovery is cumulative. You’re navigating physical healing, hormonal shifts, sleep deprivation, and newborn care all at once. Real recovery takes months, not weeks. And it requires rest, nourishment, support, and time. You’re not behind. The timeline was never realistic to begin with. #postpartumrecovery #fourthtrimester #postpartumhealth #newmom #postpartumbody
