In this episode our awesome doula friend, Ursula Sabia Sukinik is here to enlighten us on some of the STUFF NO ONE TELLS US about the first few days and weeks postpartum - not our babies, OUR SELVES!
Most of us are naturally still in awe...or shock...or both, at the thought of having given birth to another human being who we will forever be in love with, responsible for, etc... but we can be blindsided by some of the things going on with us! You know, the dramatic hormone shifts, massive physical recovery (sometimes from major surgery if you had a c-section), the weird physical processes like lactating, bleeding, swelling, sweating and so much more - all happening while we're sleepier than we've ever been before!
Share this episode with your partners and anyone who will be by your side during those first days and weeks so that they'll be aware of some of the pospartum possibilities too.
Imagine being able to say: "I heard about this..." instead of "why on earth did no one tell me this...???"
Ursula and I do our best to cover a lot of these topics pretty quickly so buckle up and get ready to burst postpartum wide open!
