BOAM is a birth and postpartum, honest motherhood platform. Here, we come together to reveal the spectrum of truths about what it can feel and mean to become a mother through personal storytelling and expert interviews. All stories of pregnancy, birth and postpartum have at least one thing in common: matrescence. The massive life change that is becoming a mother. It's rarely discussed or acknowledged for what it is and the level of support it requires. And I'm here to change that. One raw story and wisdom-shedding conversation at a time.

34. Victoria Mondloch's Birth and Early Postpartum: Dying on the Operating Table Table Shortly After Second Baby

**Even MORE important than your hormones in postpartum is your social support**

This is the episode I almost didn't post and one you're likely going to enjoy tuning into. It's Victoria J. Mondloch's personal story of birth and early postpartum. She is a retired OBGYN from Wisconsin and mom to 3 daughters. She specialized in women’s health, family medicine, and preventative health & wellness for 35 years. Her approach was to educate and empower her patients to better understand their bodies and maintain healthy lifestyle habits. Dr. Mondloch specialized in bio-identical hormone counseling for women and men.

Topics Victoria shares about:

Balancing new motherhood and medical residency
The breastfeeding vs. bottle feeding debate
Speaking up for yourself to doctors
A doctor having a patient experience (and how the medical field treats their own)
Signs of severe postpartum depression
The major drop in hormones after delivering a baby
The importance of personal care as a mama
How crucial social support is (and how she got this from her husband and her own mom)
