Guide
How to use a postpartum planner
The weeks after birth are a blur of feeds, visitors and very little sleep. A postpartum planner helps you plan ahead for help, meals and rest, then gives you one place to track how you and the baby are doing. It's for planning and tracking, not medical advice.
Write a postpartum plan
Before the birth, note who will help with what, meals, visitors, rest, feeding plans and questions for your care team.
Track your recovery
The monthly recovery tracker has space for how you're feeling, rest, pain relief and anything to mention at check-ups.
Log feeds and sleep
Weekly baby logs record feeds, nappies and sleep, and the pumping log and milk stash pages help if you're pumping.
Keep appointments together
Note check-ups for you and the baby, with questions to ask and what you were told.
Make food easy
Plan freezer meals before the birth and simple weekly meals after.
What to include in a postpartum planner
A postpartum recovery planner should be simple enough for 3am. This one includes:
Calendar
Weekly and monthly pages
Dated month calendars starting this month and a weekly page for each week, for appointments, visitors and help. No daily pages.

One goal, followed through a single week. The milestone and weekly actions are the kind of lines the AI goal step writes onto your month and week pages; the daily notes are what you add by hand.

See all themesDoes it tell me what's normal after birth?
No. It's for tracking and planning. Your midwife, doctor or health visitor will tell you what to watch for; write their advice on the plan page and call them if you're worried.
When should I start it?
Many people fill in the postpartum plan in the last weeks of pregnancy. It starts in the current month and runs six months by default.
Is there a free postpartum planner?
You can build this postpartum planner and flip through every page in your browser for free, with a watermark. The tabs and links work in the preview, so you can check the layout before you pay. The clean PDF is $12 once, or included in Pro at $49 a year for unlimited planners. There is no free download of the full planner.
Does it work with GoodNotes, Notability, Samsung Notes and e-ink tablets?
Yes. Download the iPad size for GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, Collanote or ZoomNotes; the Android size for Samsung Notes, Penly, Flexcil or Xodo; or the E-ink size for reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, Boox and Supernote. The links work in any app that follows PDF links, usually in read mode rather than pen mode. Every size is included in the price.
Can I print the postpartum planner?
Yes. Choose A5, A4, US Letter or Half Letter in the builder for a printable PDF with a wider inner margin for hole punching. Printable and digital sizes come with the same purchase, so you can use the postpartum planner on a tablet and print the pages you want on paper.
When does the postpartum planner start, and how long is it?
It starts in the current month and runs for 6 months by default, so you don't pay for pages that have already gone. In the builder you can choose any start month and year and a length from 3 months to 5 years, so something you're planning a year ahead fits too. Or switch to undated and write the dates in yourself.
Does the AI fill in the postpartum planner for me?
Only the goal parts, and only if you want it to. Type up to six goals and the AI writes a milestone for each month and a short action for each week onto your month and week pages, plus a motto for each month. You can edit every line before you download. Everything else, from the calendar pages to the trackers, is yours to fill in by hand. You can try it 3 times a day without an account.
How many pages is the postpartum planner?
With the default settings it comes to about 216 pages. That includes 6 month pages, 27 weekly pages, the Postpartum, Pregnancy & Baby, Health Admin, Meals and Wellness pages and 20 notes pages. Switching off sections makes it shorter, and the builder shows the total as you change things.
Make it yours in about a minute.
Set your dates, device and goals, flip through the preview free, and pay only when it's right.
