Before my baby arrived, what I prepared most wasn’t physical it was my mindset. You need to think about how you’ll respond in different situations, because things can go south quickly from pregnancy, to birth, to being home with your baby. While we can’t control everything, we can control our responses and plan what our partners should do if we can’t make decisions ourselves, both in the hospital and at home. Honestly, my husband and I didn’t discuss my needs, only the baby’s. But recovery takes time your body and mind need attention too, not just the baby.

Yes recovery time is important! Your body just went through something traumatic and you definitely need time to heal mentally and physically!
