Build a Postpartum Mental Health Check-In Routine
In the first year after a birth your own head can quietly slide while everyone watches the baby. This builds a weekly check-in that takes under ten minutes and fits a chaotic schedule, covering your mood and your sleep, with clear markers for when to reach out for help. A small habit that catches postnatal depression and anxiety before they take hold.
