The Postpartum Prep Nobody Puts on a Registry
A free workbook for first-time parents who want to get on the same page — before the baby arrives and the 3am conversations become 3am arguments.
You've researched the stroller. You've picked the nursery colours. But have you talked about who does night feeds when you're both exhausted? What happens when your in-laws show up uninvited? Or what "I'm fine" actually means coming from each of you?
Most couples find out the answers to these things in real time. This workbook helps you figure them out before you need to.
Here's what the workbook covers:
💬 The Relationship Talk — the questions most couples skip, from night feed plans to what you each look like at your worst
💰 The Money Talk — hidden costs, and the Canadian benefits most new parents don't claim in time (CCB, EI, RESP, CWELCC and more)
🚪 Visitors & Boundaries — who gets in the first month, how to say no without guilt, and the signal that means "this visit needs to end now"
🌿 Recovery & Body — what postpartum recovery actually looks like, warning signs to know, and why pelvic floor care matters even if nothing feels wrong
🧠 Mental & Emotional Shifts — matrescence, baby blues vs. postpartum depression, paternal mental health, and how to define "struggling" for each other before you need to
🍲 The First 48 Hours Home — the soft landing plan, what to stock, what to prep, and why feeding the person who just grew a human is not an afterthought
