Postpartum Recovery Companion
Your postpartum recovery, week by week
Pelvic floor work opens at week two after a vaginal birth and week four after a caesarean. Every session is sized to the energy you report that morning.
- Vaginal and caesarean tracked apart
- Pelvic floor from week two
- Sessions sized to today’s energy
General guidance, not medical advice — follow your provider’s clearance before starting to exercise. iOS coming soon, .
Your plan moves with you
Week 3Initial Healing
This week we focus on:
- Breathing
- Gentle mobility
- Pelvic floor
- Strength
Light cardio unlocks at week 6.
Two questions each morning. A session that fits the day.
Answer them the way you would tomorrow and watch today’s session resize. It is the same rule the app uses.
Example plan: week 3 after a caesarean, 15 minutes a day

What the app does
Built around the week you’re in
The plan moves on thresholds rather than on encouragement: pelvic floor at week two after a vaginal birth and week four after a caesarean, strength at three and six, core at eight and twelve.
Timeline
Your week, the phase it falls in, and which categories have opened so far
Recovery Timeline
Your week decides which exercise categories are open and which are still held back. Twelve weeks, each with something different to say.
Recovery Milestones
Each category opening is its own milestone: breathing from day one, pelvic floor at week two, light cardio at week six.
Personalized Guidance
A caesarean is abdominal surgery, so every threshold moves later — strength at week six rather than three, core at twelve rather than eight.
Progress Tracking
Sessions completed, and which categories have opened since week one. Rep targets rise after your fourth session and again after your tenth.
Mood Check-in
Mood and energy, asked once a morning and used to size that day’s session
Daily Check-ins
Two questions each morning: how you feel, and how much you have. An exhausted answer cuts the day’s session to about seventy per cent of its length.
Mood Tracking
Your answers plotted across weeks, so a run of low days is something you can see rather than something you have to remember.
Recovery Journal
A private entry whenever you want one, with a prompt for the days when a blank page is too much to start from.
Learning Library
Postpartum guides, each one listing its sources at the end
Learning Library
Postpartum guides that list their sources — ACOG, NHS, Cleveland Clinic — and say plainly when something warrants a call rather than a read.
Honest about recovery
Healing isn’t only physical
Baby blues typically peak around days three to five and lift by the end of the second week. Low mood that is still there after that, or deepening, is worth naming to your midwife or doctor rather than waiting out.
For months the limiting factor is sleep rather than fitness. Recovery is not linear either — a good day is not a promise about tomorrow.
MatraBloom asks about mood alongside energy every morning, because the two move together and the day’s session should follow both.
Why we built this
Why the thresholds are in here
Most pregnancy apps stop at birth. The weeks after it — when the pelvic floor, the abdominal wall and, for some, an incision are all recovering on different timelines — are exactly where the guidance thins out into “listen to your body”.
So MatraBloom carries thresholds instead. This site and the Android app share one exercise library and one set of week gates, which is why a page here can name a specific week for a specific movement after a specific birth.
It is a wellness and education companion, not a clinician. It does not diagnose, and it is not a substitute for the person who has your notes.

Common questions
Everything you need to know
To start, yes. The free tier carries your recovery plan, today’s movement, daily mood and energy check-ins, two guided workouts with video, unlimited journalling, and the full recovery guide. Premium adds the rest of the workout library and the premium articles.
On Android, from the Google Play Store — any ‘Get It Now’ or ‘Download App’ button on this page goes there. On an iPhone, join the iOS waitlist: that list is how we will tell you when it ships.
No. MatraBloom is a wellness and recovery companion. It does not diagnose conditions, replace healthcare professionals, or provide medical advice. Always consult your provider for medical concerns.
Android today. iOS is in development and has no release date yet, and the waitlist on this page is the only place we will announce one.
Knowing what is appropriate now rather than in general. It tracks your week, gates each exercise category by birth type — pelvic floor at week two after a vaginal birth and week four after a caesarean — and takes mood and energy each morning so the session matches the day you are actually having. It is an education and wellness companion, not a treatment.
Your recovery information is kept private, we do not sell it, and you can request deletion at any time. You own your story.
Whatever week you’re in, start there
The first check-in takes about a minute. Your birth type and your week decide what opens; the energy you report decides how long it runs.
