Daily Rituals

✨ Practical Support

  • Take the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) quiz online or with your doctor.
  • Check your incision or tear in a mirror—it's okay to see how you're healing.
  • Plan a 'date night' at home—even just a movie after the baby is down.

⚠️ Red Flag Symptoms

  • Persistent 'Baby Blues' that haven't lifted by today
  • Any new fever or flu-like symptoms
