POSTPOINTMENT TYPES

💛 TYPE A: Selfcare Power 💛

Pregnant women

You want a postpartum period that gives you space – to arrive, to feel, to heal. Visitors? Only when you're ready. Food? Warming, nourishing, energizing. You prioritize rest, intimacy, and self-care. The formalities can wait – your healing can't. You've prepared consciously, perhaps not with lists, but with inner clarity. Closeness can develop in your relationship without you having to prove yourself. Feelings, tears, silence – everything is allowed.

🔮 Mantra: It's okay to withdraw.
🧠 Superpower: Mindfulness & Boundaries
Style: calm, conscious, powerful in retreat
🛠️ What helps you during the postpartum period: rest, warm meals, a private space, sensitive people, absorbent postpartum pads

🩸 Even if you usually prefer tampons, cups, or period underwear, you'll need large postpartum pads in the first few days after giving birth. Please do not insert any products into your vagina, as this can increase the risk of infection. And a quick tip: no period underwear can handle the first few days of postpartum bleeding.

😢 And regardless of whether you were easily moved to tears before giving birth or were more of a "girls don't cry" type: hormones usually go haywire during the postpartum period. So it's quite possible that you'll cry often for no apparent reason – sometimes loudly, sometimes quietly. And that's okay.

Partners

You want to be present and reliable during this sensitive time. For you, the postpartum period means retreat, protection, and genuine connection. You participate without overpowering the other person. Visits are consciously limited, and meals are lovingly prepared. Applications for child support? Not your top priority – you're taking care of them, but without pressure. You've prepared yourself mentally: giving space, holding your feelings, and allowing closeness. As a partner, you're a companion, not a conductor.

🔮 Mantra: It's okay to put my needs aside for a while (without losing myself in the process).
🧠 Superpower: emotional presence
Style: gentle, clear, reliable
🛠️ What helps you during the postpartum period: rest periods, clear communication, division of tasks, settling in together.

💪 TYPE B: Support Squad 💪

Pregnant women

You don't need a quiet little room – you need people who support you. You love it when someone brings you soup, holds the baby, or simply asks how you are. Visits that do you good. You accept support and are open to help. Applications, paperwork, everyday life – it's all easier together. You prepare by delegating tasks and clearly stating your needs. In your partnership, you're a real team – even when things get chaotic.

🔮 Mantra: Delegating tasks is OK.
🧠 Superpower: Connection & Delegation
Style: open, warm, communal
🛠️ What helps you during the postpartum period: People who are supportive, practical support, being able to talk, large postpartum pads

🩸 And please remember: The first few days after giving birth belong to thick postpartum pads . No tampons, cups, or period underwear – your body needs time and protection, and inserting products can increase the risk of infection. But don't worry: You can simply switch back to your favorite products later.
And a small service note: no period underwear in the world can cope with the first few days of postpartum bleeding.

😢 And regardless of whether you were easily moved to tears before giving birth or were more of a "girls don't cry" type: If you suddenly start crying randomly (or all the time) during the postpartum period, that's perfectly okay. Even if you didn't experience this before – the hormonal changes are real and make you vulnerable and incredibly emotional.

Partners

You understand: the postpartum period isn't a solo endeavor. You create space, organize help, and ask others for support. Visitors are welcome—if they bring strength. You contribute without burning yourself out. Instead of trying to do everything yourself, you build a network. Paperwork, shopping, organization—you pitch in or ask for help. Your goal: a stable foundation that sustains you both. Your strength lies in knowing when you're needed—and when someone else is there to help.

🔮 Mantra: Accepting help from others is okay.
🧠 Superpower: active caring & networking
Style: connecting, organized, approachable
🛠️ What helps you during the postpartum period: clear to-dos, team spirit, practical helpers, willingness to talk

🪺 TYPE C: Nest Building Love 🪺

Pregnant women

You've thought through, planned, and prepared for your postpartum period. The nursing pillow is ready, the tea is sorted, and the documents are filed. You feel secure when there's structure – then you can let go. Visitors? As planned. Food? Frozen or organized. You have lists for your support team and know who will help when. You've divided tasks within your partnership. Your postpartum period is your creation – loving, thoughtful, and exactly right for you.

🔮 Mantra: It's okay to need planning and security.
🧠 Superpower: Clarity & structure with heart
Style: organized, thoughtful, warm
🛠️ What will help you during the postpartum period: preparation, to-do lists, a structured routine, supplies, large pads

🩸 You've probably already thought about the right hygiene product for you during the postpartum period, but: pads, tampons, or period underwear aren't an option in the first few days after giving birth – because inserted products can promote infections, and period underwear and conventional pads aren't absorbent enough. Thick postpartum pads offer effective and reliable protection – and help prevent infections.

😢 No matter how well you've planned and prepared , your feelings can't always be timed. You are allowed (and will) cry, laugh, be exhausted, miss your old life, and love everything about this new one. It's all okay.

Partners

You've been proactive – and helped prepare. Your postpartum preparation begins with lists, supplies, and responsibilities. You love being prepared. Paperwork? Almost done. Visitors? By arrangement. Food? Arrives on time. You give your partner peace of mind through organization and your baby a gentle start. In your relationship, you demonstrate care through structure – and that creates space for intimacy.

🔮 Mantra: It's okay to have a well-planned start to the postpartum period.
🧠 Superpower: Planning with love
Style: practical, calm, supportive
🛠️ What will help you during the postpartum period: planning tools, checklists, routines, clear responsibilities

🌊 TYPE D: Follow the Flow 🌊

Pregnant women

You let things unfold as they will. Your postpartum period has no rigid plan – but rather room for intuition. You decide on visitors spontaneously, and meals can be uncomplicated. You accept that not everything has to be meticulously organized to be good. Support is welcome, but not required. You'll get to the paperwork eventually. Your partnership thrives on mutual respect and understanding. Your strength lies in trusting the moment.

🔮 Mantra: Just letting yourself drift is okay.
🧠 Superpower: Intuition & Composure
Style: free, soulful, everyday
🛠️ What helps you during the postpartum period: open-ended routines, time without a schedule, sensitive people, practical help, surfboards (really!)

🩸 Even if you like to go with the flow and spontaneously decide what you feel like doing, now's the time to get some postpartum pads . Please don't use any insertable products after giving birth; the risk of infection is too high. And regular sanitary pads and period underwear simply won't be able to handle the heavy postpartum bleeding of the first few days. Let it flow!

😢 And regardless of whether you were easily moved to tears before giving birth or were more of a "girls don't cry" type: During the postpartum period, all emotions simply get jumbled together. Without trigger. Without plan. Tears are part of it.

Partners

You bring a sense of ease to the postpartum period. You don't plan everything down to the last detail, but react instinctively. Visitors? If it feels right. Support? Gladly, but without drama. Meals are improvised, proposals are made spontaneously. You provide support through your relaxed approach – not through structure. In your relationship, you're available, but without pressure. Your instincts guide you – and that's enough.

🔮 Mantra: Living in the moment is okay.
🧠 Superpower: Flexibility with feeling
Style: relaxed, empathetic, pragmatic
🛠️ What helps you during the postpartum period: spontaneous solutions, trusting your gut feeling, a flexible daily routine, quiet zones
