The Postpartum Bible
Everything you need to know about your postpartum recovery.
Did you know that the first 42 days after birth are some of the most vital in terms of a new mother’s recovery and long-term health? In fact, many experts believe this period—often called the “fourth trimester”—can shape a woman’s physical, emotional, and hormonal wellbeing for years to come.
The truth is, for most of us, when we fall pregnant, our focus naturally shifts to preparing for birth and baby—setting up the nursery, packing the hospital bag, and reading all the birth books. But when it comes to what happens after birth, so many of us are left underprepared for the physical and emotional transformation that follows.
To thrive, not just survive, after birth, we must start directing our energy towards nurturing ourselves—replenishing our bodies, supporting our hormones, and creating space to rest, recover, and rebuild.
Created by Nutritionist Latoya Cruz, The Postpartum Bible is a comprehensive, compassionate guide designed to help you rest, repair and replenish your body post-birth. It’s your go-to companion through those early weeks and months of motherhood, and is filled with simple, evidence-based tools and nourishing guidance that make caring for yourself feel both achievable and essential.
