In many countries it is normal for the Tribe to take care of the mother after the birth of the baby,  so that she can focus all her energy and attention on the baby.  There is then a network of people who cook, care, clean and perform rituals for mother and baby. They are taken care of.
It's a great example of how it could go, how we can manifest it for ourselves.

Allow yourself a good recovery and a nice 'sacred period' in the first 40 days after birth.
Prepare for the 4th trimester during pregnancy so that you don't get overwhelmed or end up on a rollercoaster, but can cocoon in your own 'sacred space'. 

Let us support and connect as women, as moms.
