After the 6-Week Checkup: What Now?

You wait weeks for it—the 6-week postpartum checkup. It feels like a milestone, a moment where someone will finally check in on you.

And then, in a quick appointment, you’re “cleared.” Cleared for exercise, cleared for intimacy, cleared to go back to “normal.” But what if you don’t feel normal? What if you still feel exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, or just off?

For many new moms, this is where the support stops. No more scheduled check-ins, no guidance on mental health, no real conversations about the emotional toll of postpartum life. You’re left to figure it out alone while still showing up for your baby, your family, and the world.

The truth? Postpartum recovery doesn’t end at six weeks. Your body, mind, and emotions are still adjusting, and you deserve real support—beyond just a routine checkup.

If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. Postpartum care needs to be more than a one-time follow-up—it should be ongoing, compassionate, and accessible. Because motherhood isn’t just about survival—it’s about thriving.
