Abstract
It is well known that recovering from childbirth can be a real challenge for many women. New mothers are, mostly, left to self care and manage their own recovery process. In seeking to feel like their old selves again mothers in this ethnographic study took longer than the traditional six weeks and needed to manage their feelings around being cooped up after childbirth. This article highlights an aspect of self care such as getting out and about, with or without the baby – a process that is pivotal to good recuperation and a sense of wellbeing after childbirth.
