Lifecourse stage: Postpartum

Postpartum

Recovery takes time — physically and emotionally. Start with rest, nourishment, and honest check-ins about how you are feeling. In the app, this stage supports postpartum education, habit tracking, and connection to care when you need it.

Educational only — not medical advice. If you have urgent symptoms (heavy bleeding, chest pain, thoughts of harming yourself or your baby), seek immediate care.

Recovery priorities

  • Physical recovery: rest, hydration, and gradual movement

  • Nutrition and feeding support — for you and your baby if breastfeeding

  • Mental health: mood changes are common; persistent low mood deserves attention

When to seek help

Contact your care team for fever, worsening pain, heavy bleeding, or breastfeeding difficulties. Reach out urgently if you have severe headache, shortness of breath, or thoughts of self-harm. Partners and family can help by watching for these signs too.
