Postpartum Planning Workbook

The ultimate midwife-approved, step-by-step guide to help you plan for postpartum with calm, clarity and confidence - so you can actually enjoy those early newborn weeks (and not just survive them)

If you're pregnant and you're ready to go beyond the hospital bag packing list and actually plan for you - this guide is for you.

When it comes to birth, there’s a plan. But when it comes to postpartum?

Most new mums are left to figure it out in real time - sleep-deprived, sore and overwhelmed.

Let’s change that. Because preparing for postpartum is one of the most powerful ways to feel grounded, calm and capable during one of the biggest transitions of your life.

You deserve to step into motherhood feeling ready. This workbook will help you do just that.

But right now, maybe you're feeling like...

  • "I want to feel ready... but I have no idea where to start."

  • "Everyone talk about birth, but no one tells you what comes after. What will those early weeks actually look like?"

  • "I'm worried I'll be blindsided postpartum - mentally, emotionally and physically."

  • "I don't want to rely on Google or random Facebook advice."

  • "How am I meant to prepare when I don't even know what to expect?"

  • "How do I make sure I'm not doing everything alone?"

And underneath all of that is one big feeling:

✨ "I just want to feel ready and have a positive experience"

You're not alone. And you don't need to figure this out on your own.

That is exactly why the Beyond Birth - Postpartum Planning Guide was created.

Introducing the Postpartum Planning Workbook

Your roadmap to a more confident, organised and supported postpartum experience.

This workbook was designed by me - Tam Carrington - a mum of 2 and a registered midwife who has supported hundreds of women through the hospital system.

It's the exact tool I wish every parent had - one that gently walks you through postpartum prep with clarity, care and evidence-based support.

Inside, we'll cover:

  • What to expect in those first few weeks (without the horror stories)

  • Mental health signs to watch for and where to go for help

  • Feeding preferences (and your backup plans)

  • Preparing emotionally, mentally and practically

  • Reducing the mental load of parenting

  • Create a plan that supports you just as much as your baby

  • Partner roles, building your support network, daily tasks, village-building and more

It's everything you need to think of and discuss before your baby arrives - so you aren't trying to figure it all out when you're exhausted and overwhelmed.

Think of it as your guide to feeling ready for what comes next 💕

Imagine walking into the hospital not just with a bag packed - but with your mind, body and support system prepared.

  • You feel excited, not anxious

  • You know your preferences - and your options

  • You and your partner are aligned

  • You've thought through visitors, meals and feeding plans

  • You know where to go if things feel hard

And when baby arrives... you feel supported, grounded and ready.

Why I Created This

The postpartum period is powerful, transformative and deeply vulnerable - yet it's the part most people feel the least prepared for.

I created this workbook because I've been there - both as a mum and a midwife. I know how important it is to feel supported, clear and calm going into postpartum.

Because you deserve to feel ready.

I want your postpartum experience to nurture you, not just your baby.

Here for you, always 💕

Frequently asked questions

You’ve got questions. I’ve got answers.

When is the best time to complete this guide?

A: Whenever you like! Ideally, I recommend completing it early in your third trimester. This gives you time to work through it at your own pace and put strategies in place before your baby arrives. However, you can complete it at any stage during pregnancy.

When can I start using the guide?

A: You’ll get instant access to your online portal, where you can download the guide and start right away. The workbook is easy to use and comes in a PDF format for quick access.

Is this only for first-time mums?

A: No! This guide is for anyone preparing for postpartum, whether it’s your first baby or your third. While you may have experience, every baby and recovery is different. This guide helps you create an intentional plan for a smoother, more supported postpartum experience.

How long will it take to go through?

A: This varies! The workbook is designed to be simple and actionable, so how long it takes depends on how much time you spend on each section. You can work through it at your own pace.

Should I complete this with my partner?

A: Absolutely! It’s important for you and your partner to be on the same page. By working through the guide together, you’ll be able to make informed decisions as a team. Two brains are better than one - especially during those sleep-deprived early days when having a prepared support person can make all the difference.

I have questions and can’t decide if this is right for me. Can I get in touch?

A: Of course! Email me at hello@nurturedbeginningsmaternity.com.au or send me a DM on Instagram - I’d love to help you feel confident in your decision.

Don’t wait until postpartum to figure it all out - plan ahead and feel prepared.
