Post-birth self care and healing

Pregnancy and birth are natural processes, but they are also kind of a big deal for your body.  You need and deserve care and rest and healing, as well as good information about how to care for yourself (and allow others to care for you).  We've created a collection of good solid links to share with you, and we're here for you in person, too; just call.
