Postpartum Planning for Couples
(Prenatal & Postpartum Series)

Many couples are so busy planning for birth that they forget to talk about what happens after baby is born. Having a baby is a big life event and a life-changing moment for couples. There are many things changing all at once, and many feelings may come up because of that. Suddenly you go from being individuals and a couple, to welcoming a new baby into your life and becoming a family.

Whether this is your first baby or you are expanding your family, parents can benefit from Postpartum Planning BEFORE they give birth. Families often report more positive and easy transitions to parenthood when there is open discussion and communication about the impotant topics PRIOR to birth. Creating a Postpartum Plan together, while taking into account both of your individual preferences for after birth, can help achieve a more positive postpartum experience, increase communication skills, and reduce conflict.  

The complete Postpartum Planning Package for Couples encourages you to talk about the topics that are important to you in a safe setting, moderated by a Family Mediator who also has years of experience working with hundreds of couples before, during, and after birth as a Doula and a Perinatal Family Educator. All sessions will take place with the owner of Bean Family Wellness - Ilissa Mistry, B.H.Ecol. (FSS), CBS™.

The goal of the Complete Postpartum Planning for Couples Package is to,

  • help you plan ahead of time to avoid potential sources of conflict in your relationship,

  • to open up communication about important topics that you may not have thought about,

  • to discuss needs and expectations for each other, yourself, and your relationship,

  • and to learn how to work as a team and co-parent together.

Some topics of discussion will include:

  • Logistical information for recovery after birth

  • Baby care & parenting preferences

  • Expectations for both parents

  • Preferences and expectations of close family and friends
