For the year
nothing returns
to before.
Physical recovery. Feeding. Matrescence. Mental health. Return to work. The entire postpartum year — not just the six-week visit that checks a box and sends you home without addressing most of what's actually happening.
The postpartum year is
inadequately supported.
Everywhere.
The six-week check is designed to clear you for sex and contraception. It is not designed to address physical recovery in any meaningful depth, identify postpartum mental health conditions, support the identity transformation of matrescence, or prepare you for what the following ten months actually require.
Most people are signed off at six weeks and left to navigate the rest of the postpartum year without a clinical framework, without adequate mental health support, and without anyone asking how they — not the baby — are doing.
SHORE is built for the person who gave birth, not the baby. Physical recovery through month 12. Mental health screening at four points across the year. Matrescence — the identity transformation of new motherhood — documented for the first time. The full postpartum year, with the structure it has always required.
- "I was signed off at six weeks and wasn't anywhere near okay. I didn't know what to say".
- "Nobody talks about the physical recovery. I was in pain for months and had no idea if that was normal".
- "I don't recognise myself. I love my baby. I miss my life. I feel like I'm not supposed to say that".
- "My relationship changed completely and we had no language for it".
- "Everyone asks how the baby is. Nobody asks how I am. I started to wonder if I was supposed to be fine by now".
- "I had a C-section. The recovery was much harder and much longer than anyone told me".
- "The feeding was harder than I expected and I had no way to document what was happening to bring to an appointment".
Not a baby book.
A clinical tool for the person who gave birth.
The matrescence map,
documented.
Matrescence — the developmental process of becoming a mother — is as significant as adolescence. SHORE documents it with structured check-ins at weeks 6, 12, 26, and 52. Not reflection prompts — structured documentation of a real developmental process, grounded in the research of Dana Raphael and Dr. Aurelie Athan.
Feeding without
judgment or method.
SHORE works across every feeding method — breastfeeding, exclusive pumping, formula, combo, donor milk. The feeding log tracks infant output (the clinical marker for adequate intake) alongside maternal experience. No hierarchy. No pressure. The goal is documentation, not a feeding philosophy.
Mental health
screened, not assumed.
Postpartum depression and anxiety affect 1 in 5 people who give birth. SHORE includes validated EPDS screening at weeks 2, 6, 12, and 26 — with scoring, interpretation, and a provider prep page for each check-in. Not a mood journal. A clinical self-monitoring tool designed to be brought to appointments.
Eight sections.
The full postpartum
year covered.
Not a baby scrapbook. Not a sleep tracker. Eight clinically grounded sections covering the physical, psychological, relational, and identity dimensions of the postpartum year — with the structure to use them at every stage.
What the pages
actually look like.
Not a baby tracker. A recovery tool — built for the person who gave birth, not just the baby they gave birth to.
For the Year Nothing Works as Before
SHORE covers the whole first year — physical recovery, mood, newborn rhythms, identity shift, and the support infrastructure most new parents don't build until they need it.
Week-by-Week Recovery
Clinical recovery markers from week 1 to month 12 — separate tracks for vaginal and C-section recovery.
6-Week Visit Prep
The checklist for the appointment most people attend unprepared — what to ask, what to push for, and what gets missed when you don't have it written down.
My Support Map
A structured map of who you can reach for what — built before you need it so you're not searching when you're depleted.
3-Week Visit — Prep and Recap
A prep form for the first real postpartum contact — with a recap section to capture what was covered and what still needs following up.
Vaginal Birth — Week-by-Week Track
A week-by-week physical recovery reference after vaginal birth — what's expected, what warrants a call, and how your body is actually healing.
6-Week Visit — The Real Conversation
Walk into the 6-week clearance visit with the questions they won't ask and the answers you've been quietly accumulating — it's the beginning, not the endpoint.

Not a baby tracker.
A recovery tool.
Two minutes. No voiceover. Every section of SHORE — from the EPDS screening system to the matrescence map — shown as a working clinical document for the postpartum year nobody prepares you for.
- EPDS mental health screening — validated, scored, provider-ready
- Physical recovery timeline — week 1 through month 12
- Matrescence documentation — identity transformation at four check-ins
- Partner and relationship framework — structured language for what changes
Nine tools.
All included.
None of them afterthoughts.
Every SHORE purchase includes a free lead tool, four purchase bonuses, and four community drops released over the year. Each one addresses a documented gap in postpartum support.
A complete tool.

"The six-week clearance section made me cry. Not because it was sad — because it was the first time something acknowledged that being cleared for sex doesn't mean you're recovered. That that's a different thing entirely".

You need a tool for the year
after, not just the baby.
- →You want structured documentation of your physical recovery, not just the baby's milestones
- →You're struggling with identity — who you are now, what you've lost, what's changed
- →Your mental health needs monitoring, not journalling — you want a clinical tool, not a mood diary
- →Feeding is harder than expected and you need something to bring to a lactation appointment
- →Your relationship has shifted and you need a framework for navigating it, not just acknowledging it
- →You want a record of this year — what it actually was, not what it was supposed to look like
- →You had a difficult birth, a loss, or a complicated start and need a tool that accounts for that
You're looking for a
baby milestone keepsake.
- ×You want a baby memory book with feeding logs and first smile documentation
- ×You want a beautiful illustrated keepsake journal for the postpartum months
- ×You're looking for a sleep training guide or baby schedule framework
- ×You want reassurance and affirmations rather than clinical documentation
Baby milestone books are beautiful. SHORE is not competing with them. It's doing something different — documenting the person who gave birth, not just who they gave birth to.
Built from clinical
postpartum literature,
not wellness advice.
Every section of SHORE is structured around published research on postpartum recovery — the physical, psychological, and relational dimensions. The frameworks are traceable to the clinical bodies whose work defines best practice in postpartum care.

The most common questions, answered directly. Email hello@thresholdplanners.com if something isn't covered here.
No. The sections are independent — the matrescence check-ins, the mental health screening, the relationship framework, and the Return to Self section all work regardless of when you start. Many SHORE buyers start at 3–6 months, when the initial support has disappeared and the reality of the longer recovery becomes clearer. Start where you are.
Yes. The physical recovery timeline has a separate C-section track with its own clinical markers, wound care reference, and recovery milestones. C-section recovery is significantly longer and more complex than the six-week clearance implies — SHORE reflects that with recovery documentation through months 6 and 12.
Yes. The feeding log and troubleshooting guide works across every method — breastfeeding, exclusive pumping, formula, combination, and donor milk. There is no hierarchy and no pressure toward any particular method. The log tracks infant output (the clinical marker for adequate intake regardless of feeding method) and your experience, not whether you're feeding the "right" way.
Yes, and it's specifically built not to assume an uncomplicated birth or a straightforward postpartum experience. The mental health screening section accounts for birth trauma, and the matrescence map acknowledges complicated beginnings. If you experienced a loss and are unsure whether SHORE is appropriate for your situation, email us before purchasing.
30-day satisfaction guarantee. Email us with your order number within 30 days and we'll refund you in full — no questions, no explanation required. The files are yours regardless.
