Plan your postpartum approach
Having a baby is serious business. The MotherUp Postpartum Canvas enables you to structure your thinking, enhance collaboration, lessen miscommunication and rethink your postpartum approach.
How it works
Given the volume of unsolicited advice, conflicting information and expectations, the canvas hones in on the critical areas of focus for the woman to best support her journey. The MotherUp planning process involves the clarification of support person roles and accountabilities, the provision of tailored MotherUp endorsed resources and materials, guidance in identifying and sourcing efficient and effective support and preparing clients to extract maximum value from these resources.
Use the prompt questions to populate the canvas, keeping in mind your postpartum goals, values and resources (paid and unpaid).
Identify gaps in your support resources, plan how you can obtain additional / alternate resources and allocate your resources in order of perceived greatest benefit.
Review your canvas and make updates as things develop and change. Use the question section to capture updates and drive revisions.
