A gentle weekly companion for early motherhood.

The First Twelve Weeks is a quiet, supportive journal for the early postpartum period.

Rather than telling you what to do or how to feel, this journal offers a soft structure for reflection during the first three months after birth. Each week includes a theme, a short affirmation, and a small number of gentle prompts to support noticing, integration, and care.

This is not a checklist or a recovery plan. There is no expectation to write every week or to write in any particular way. You may return to the pages when you feel ready, skip sections, or write freely.

Created by a midwife, this journal recognises that the early postpartum weeks are a time of physical recovery, emotional change, identity shift, and quiet becoming. It is designed to be used alongside clinical care, family support, and rest.

Inside the journal:

• 12 weekly reflections for the first twelve weeks postpartum

• Themes including arrival, nourishment, support, identity, embodiment, connection, and integration

• Space for unstructured journalling and personal reflections

• A calm, minimal layout designed for tired hands and busy days

This journal is suitable for women in the early postpartum period, regardless of birth experience or feeding choices.
