The Ultimate Postpartum Q&A!

Author: Liesel Teen January 22, 2024 Duration: 26:02

Today we're delving into the nitty-gritty of postpartum life - from managing those initial cramps while breastfeeding to understanding the ebb and flow of post-birth bleeding.

We'll also explore C-section recovery, red flags to watch for during those first 6 weeks, and I'll demystify the phenomenon of postpartum night sweats.

This is a great one to listen to whether you are still pregnant or already cuddling your sweet baby!
