Join me for an interview with fellow 2x high-risk mama & Orange County postpartum doula, Elyse Rusaw. Elyse dives deep and gets vulnerable discussing her two very challenging pregnancies and how they both affected her mental health in different ways. She also offers some wonderful tips to prepare ahead of time for a smoother postpartum season after a stressful pregnancy! Trigger Warning: This episode discusses the challenges of a serious fetal diagnosis called encephalocele in one pregnancy and continuous bleeding during another pregnancy due to a chorionic hematoma. Elyse's pregnancy outcomes were all wonderful and positive, but please SKIP this episode if you're pregnant and know this will make you even more anxious or afraid.
