Ep 117: Navigating Postpartum: Physical Healing

During pregnancy, there’s a lot of focus and planning that goes into prenatal health, pregnancy support, childbirth education, and labor and birth support, but our postpartum time period needs just as much emphasis and focus (if not more!).  In today’s episode Doula Rachael and Dr. Shannon break down a very small aspect of postpartum: the physical healing, which includes:

• Common postpartum discomforts surrounding the perineum, breastfeeding, and hormones - and remedies
• What meaningful family and friend support can look like
• How to build relationships with your birth support team
• How to plan for the postpartum
• And more!
