The Ultimate Postpartum Prep Guide:

What to Expect & How to Thrive in the First 6 Weeks

By Roxanne Stinson, Founder of Tender Luv Nu-Born Care.

Welcome!

Congratulations on this incredible journey into parenthood! Whether you're counting down to your due date or snuggling your new baby right now, this guide was created just for you.

My name is Roxanne, and I’ve supported countless families as a certified postpartum doula and newborn care specialist. At Tender Luv Nu-Born Care, we’re committed to helping new parents navigate early parenthood with confidence, rest, and personalized support.

The first 6 weeks after birth—often called the “fourth trimester”—can feel overwhelming. But with preparation, realistic expectations, and a nurturing approach, you can move through this sacred time feeling empowered instead of exhausted.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through what to expect and how to prepare, with practical checklists, supportive tips, and the same tools I give my clients every day.
