FOR WOMEN PREPARING FOR BIRTH — AND THE FIRST WEEKS THAT FOLLOW

Have a Plan in Place Before Your Baby Arrives. So You're Not Left Guessing After.

A free, doctor-designed handbook that prepares you for what your body actually goes through after birth, so when your baby arrives, you already know what to do, what's normal, and how to begin healing from Day 1.

You've Planned for Labor. You've Planned for the Baby. But Who's Planning for You?

The car seat is installed. The nursery is ready. You've read about contractions, picked your hospital bag, and talked through your birth plan with your doctor.

But almost no one tells you what happens next.

After your baby is here, your body will change faster than at any other time in your life, and the support you'll be handed is one six-week appointment, two pages of discharge paperwork, and a Google search bar.

That's the gap this handbook closes.

If You're Pregnant,Think Beyond Birth. . This Is How You Prepare for Recovery.

Most women don't realize, until they're already in it, that they'll be:

Bleeding for weeks, and unsure how much is normal.
Sore in places no one warned them about.
Healing an incision, stitches, or both, without clear guidance.
Trying to lift, carry, and feed a baby with a body that feels foreign.
Wondering whether what they're feeling is recovery, or a problem.
Cleared at six weeks, but still nowhere near themselves.(this bullet doesn’t fit my current handbook)

Your OB or midwife will give you good care. But there isn't time in a single appointment to walk you through everything your body needs in the days and weeks after delivery.

This handbook does, before you need it.

The 4th Trimester Handbook

Your postpartum roadmap, ready before delivery.

This is not a workout plan. It is not medical treatment. It is the foundation your recovery actually needs, the kind of education most women don't get until they've already been through the hardest weeks of it.

Normal vs. Not Normal, Spelled Out Clearly

Bleeding, swelling, bladder and bowel changes, hemorrhoids, breast changes, incision healing. What to watch. When to call your provider. No more guessing.

Postpartum Essentials That Actually Help

A curated list of what makes the first days more manageable, pads, peri bottle, stool softeners, feeding setup, pillow positioning, and more. Use it as a baby-shower gift list, a hospital-bag add-on, or a checklist for your partner.

Positions That Reduce Pain and Pressure

How to lie down, rest, feed, and move in ways that protect healing tissues, starting from the moment you're handed your baby.

Gentle Core and Pelvic Floor Reconnection

Breathwork, alignment cues, and small intentional movements to begin restoring your foundation. Safe for immediate postpartum, vaginal or c section.

Early Movement for Pain Relief

Pelvic tilts, supported postures, and mobility strategies that lessen lower-back pain, pelvic pressure, and stiffness, without pushing too hard.

C-Section Recovery Support

What to expect from your incision, how to protect it, when and how to move safely, and early mobility specific to surgical recovery.

How to Lift, Carry, and Move with Your Baby

Getting out of bed, picking up your baby, handling the car seat, practical strategies that protect your back and core while you do the things you have to do every day.

When to Get Pelvic Floor PT

What pelvic floor PT addresses, signs you'd benefit from it, and how to know it's time, so you're not second-guessing for months.

Hi, I'm Dr. Jessica Babich.

I started in orthopedics and sports medicine, treating chronic pain patients, athletes, and Broadway performers. When I kept seeing the same pattern, patients whose back pain, hip issues, and movement problems traced back to their pelvic floor, I knew I needed to go deeper.

I pursued specialty training in pelvic health because I saw how often this piece was missed. Over time, I became the practitioner people come to when traditional PT hasn't worked.

I opened my own practice because I wanted to offer care that's actually patient-centered, where you feel safe, heard, and not rushed. I created this handbook because the women in my office kept telling me the same thing: 'I wish I had known any of this before I gave birth.'

Now you will.

This Handbook Is for You If…

You're in the second or third trimester and want to feel prepared for what comes after delivery.
You're putting together your hospital bag and realize no one has explained recovery yet.
You've already given birth and feel lost in the gap between delivery and your six-week checkup.
These three buskers don’t fit.

FAQ – Answering Your Questions

I'm still pregnant. Is it too early to download this?

No, that's actually the best time. The handbook is designed to be read before delivery so the information is in place when you need it. You'll go into the postpartum period prepared, I actually like this whole thing but it doesn’t match my current lead magnet…could work for my new one.

Is this only for vaginal births?

No. There's a dedicated C-section section covering incision care, safe movement, and surgical recovery guidance.

Will this replace seeing a physical therapist?

No. This is a starting point. The handbook gives you a foundation and helps you understand your body so you know when and why to seek hands-on care. It's the education your OB doesn't have time to give you.

What happens after I download it?

You'll get the handbook in your inbox right away, along with occasional recovery tips and updates from me. Not accurate. Ideally I want them to get the structured program early focusing more on getting it before birth so that once they give birth they can follow the vaginal or c section track (kinda like we talked about I have multiple tracks for special situations like loss and people who find me after the 6 week check up but I want them to be prepared ahead of time. The guide book is supposed to get them to think beyond birth and get a recovery plan in place before birth.
