So you’ve welcomed your little bundle of joy into the world, and you feel complete. Congratulations! Pregnancy can be a beautiful journey featuring a whirlwind of emotions. During this time, your body will go through huge shifts to create a safe space for your baby to develop and thrive inside the womb.
Now that you have your little one here with you, these changes continue. As a woman, your body will require some TLC to recover and get back to health after nine months of growing a tiny human (and providing all of the necessary nutrients to produce your newborn).
Women go through immense pain during their birthing journey, and the body often takes a long time to recover. This is why it’s vital to replenish your body with nutrients and minerals that can guide you back to health.
As you know from our previous post on “Why Women Need Calcium Before and During Pregnancy,” calcium plays a huge role in pregnancy and is often referred to as the “all-star pregnancy mineral.” That said, it isn’t only before and during pregnancy that calcium is so essential—it also can significantly influence your health after giving birth, and it should absolutely be part of your postpartum plan to replenish and nourish your body.
