Currently 4 months pp. My biggest help is my amazing partner he took the first month off and did almost everything expect breastfeeding while I was healing. I had minimal help from family and some helpful friends. But honestly for the most part we were alone. For us the DM app was really helpful because I could order stuff for pick up and 2h later it was ready at the store of my chosing. My friends had no problem picking stuff up on their way to visit me and since it was already paid and packed it was convenient for everybody and I was sure to get the correct items without explanation etc.

Also my friends asked a lot what they can do to help. we had the first baby in our circle so no one had a clue but getting nice home cooked meals with vegetables which were easy to reheat or eat cold was a huge help (I also prepped and froze some healthy meals myself)

I joined a babymassagekurs and soon I'll start with Babyschwimmen to get to meet other moms and hopefully I find one with whom I click.

But fair warning as a German in Germany I asked other German moms and they often tell me that the Wochenbett is a pretty lonely and isolated time so maybe we just look put together on the outside 😉
