So, where does your postpartum conversation start on recovery? Are there things your OB-GYN wishes you knew before your first visit? Here’s some advice to give you the smoothest possible post-birth experience. 

Infertility is more common than you think it is. 1 in 6 couples will face infertility issues while trying to conceive. Infertility isn't limited to just women, as men are just as likely to experience it. Again, infertility is common and isn’t gender-specific. 

It may sound obvious, but many mothers, like you, will find themselves in uncomfortable nursing positions because they’re scared the baby won’t re-latch. You’ll be in this position for a while – you should at least make it comfortable.

Since the benefits of exclusively breastfeeding are so high – building a proper regimen starts with planning and understanding your rights at work. Advocate for yourself, work, and look for your employer to create a nonjudgmental support system around you.

Now that your baby is here, your body will still undergo surprising adjustments to get back to your new normal. Don’t worry–your body is surprisingly resilient.

So, what are some ways you can improve your fertility naturally? It can range from managing stress and finding meaningful support to monitoring your ovulation cycle or even lifestyle changes.
