Coffee meetups, stroller walks, virtual support groups and nights for dads and partners. Plans that understand naps happen.
Postpartum+ grew out of a family learning the care system in real time, at the moment they had the least capacity to. We are building the calm, honest guide we wish had existed, for moms, dads and partners, solo parents and everyone who loves them.
Ask the 3 a.m. question. Share the win. Find people in the same stage. Peer support is not medical advice, and it still makes a difference.
Search real provider directories for therapists, psychiatry, treatment programs, lactation support, pelvic floor therapy, doulas and childcare. We explain the options; you and your providers decide.
Levels of care describe how much structure and support a program provides. They are not a grade of how "bad" things are, and people do not always move through them in order. A clinical team recommends the right level; this page helps you understand the words.
Keep the details that change family life in one private place: level of care, schedule, insurance, family involvement and childcare.
The Family Assistance Fund is being built to help families overcome practical barriers to care: treatment costs, childcare, transportation and other verified needs, through a transparent application and review process.
Short, honest guides for every part of postpartum, plus the organizations we trust. Written by the Postpartum+ team, checked against public guidance from organizations such as ACOG, AAP, NIMH and PSI, and never a substitute for your own care team.
Your body is healing, your sleep is gone and your mood has a mind of its own. Here is what's common, what helps, and when to call someone, in plain words. Other moms who get it, and a plan so the people around you actually help.
You can care deeply about your partner and still feel lost, scared or exhausted. These guides are practical, specific and written for you. Nothing here requires you to become the clinician.
Grandparents, siblings, friends, neighbors and chosen family make an enormous difference after a birth, when the help is the right kind. These guides are short, specific and honest about what makes things harder.
Ten minutes, together: nights, food, visitors, the warning signs you'll all watch for, and the numbers to have ready. It saves as you type. Print it, or share it by link.
One place for the help around you: the dinners, nights and errands people sign up for with just a name, who's bringing what and when, and the plan at home for nights, visitors and the numbers to have ready.
Eight honest questions about the weeks after the baby, sixty seconds, a score out of eight, and the gaps to close this week. Take it before the birth if you can.
There is no paid membership. Every tool that keeps a family organized comes with a free account, for you and everyone helping you.
Postpartum+ was created from a simple belief: no parent should have to navigate the postpartum period feeling alone, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to turn.
Postpartum+ touches mental health and family life. These are the commitments we build against.
Who writes the Postpartum+ guides, what they are checked against, how AI is used, and how to tell us when something is wrong.
58 guides today. 55 list the public guidance they were checked against; the other 3 are practical (gifts, cards, meal trains) and make no health claims. 25 carry the AI-assisted label so far.
Postpartum+ was started by Jake and Danielle after their own first months with a new baby. The guides are written and edited by the Postpartum+ team. Guest guides from parents, dads and partners, grandparents, doulas and clinicians carry the writer's name, or a first name, or none if they ask. Nobody on the team is presented as a clinician, and no guide is medical advice.
Anything medical is checked against current public guidance from national health bodies and established nonprofits: ACOG, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the CDC, the National Institute of Mental Health, HRSA, Postpartum Support International and, for leave and pumping at work, the U.S. Department of Labor. Each guide lists what it was checked against at the bottom of the page, with links where we have them. Forums, product pages and other blogs are never the source of a medical fact.
Many of our guides were drafted with the help of an AI model. We are adding a label at the top of each one; until that is done, a guide without the label may still have been drafted that way. An AI-assisted draft is held to the same rules as every other guide: checked against the public sources it lists, written in plain language, and never allowed to invent experiences, quotes, testimonials or numbers.
Unless a guide names a clinical reviewer, a clinician has not reviewed it, and the AI-assisted guides say “Not clinically reviewed” at the top. When a clinician reviews a guide, the guide will name them, their credentials and the date.
Guides about mental health, warning signs and recovery point to urgent help where it matters: 988 for an emotional crisis, 911 in an emergency, and the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA. We describe symptoms and options so you can talk to your care team. We don't diagnose, prescribe, or tell anyone to start or stop a medication.
Every guide shows the date it was last updated. The date changes when the guide does in a way a reader would notice, such as new guidance, a corrected fact or a new section. It is never moved just to make a page look fresh.
Guides carry no ads, sponsored placements or affiliate links. Paid listings and events elsewhere on Postpartum+ are always labeled Sponsored, and they never change what a guide says.
Tell us which guide and what's wrong. A person reads every message. We fix factual errors and update the guide's date when we do.
Report a correctionLived it, or work with families who have? Guest guides are edited with their writer and checked the same way.

In crisis? Call or text 988, any hour. In immediate danger, call 911.
You can still post this. And if any part of it is about not wanting to be here, or about the baby's safety, please talk to a person right now, not a forum. It is free, it is 24 hours, and it is not an overreaction.
In immediate danger, call 911. Nothing you type here is scanned by anyone: this check happens on your own device.
Reports are private and a person reviews every one. The person you report is never told who reported them. Disagreeing with someone isn't a reason to report.
Public venues or virtual only. The Postpartum+ team checks each proposal before it is published, but we don't vet hosts, venues or who comes. You run the meetup, and everyone who comes, you included, takes part at their own risk. Peer meetups are not clinical services.
It opens full screen like an app. Nothing to download from an app store, and you can remove it like any other icon.
This is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. For crisis support, call or text 988. Applications are private and reviewed by a person using published criteria.
