Postpartum Recovery: Shifting the Paradigm: EP1
It’s time to get real when it comes to talking about postpartum recovery.
I am so glad you have found the Postpartum University podcast (formerly known as The Postpartum Circle) and I can’t wait to share all of the hugely important information surrounding postpartum recovery (which is the first 6 years after birth, by the way) with you.
I have so much to say about postpartum recovery, health, and well-being, and much of what I’m going to share with you does not really fit the mold.
There are some massive myths and misconceptions around postpartum in the years after, and all of that is deeply affecting the way we as mothers experience motherhood.
These myths and misconceptions are happening for two main reasons:
1. There just isn’t a lot of data or science on postpartum and caring for mothers, it just doesn’t exist.
2. Women are making up their own plans and solutions to fill a huge need for this gap in our healthcare.
I can’t wait to dive into the depths of postpartum with all of you and find ways to support you along this journey. Make sure to leave a review and follow the podcast so you never miss a new episode when it goes live! Thank you for being here!
In this episode, I’m sharing with you:
- Common misconceptions around women in postpartum and their needs
- Lack of science and data on postpartum and caring for mothers
- Misinformation that is so readily available for mothers searching for help, that doesn’t treat the cause of any issues
- The importance of taking control of your healing
- While community after childbirth would be wonderful, it is not the communities fault
- We need to stand up and demand the support we desperately need AND deserve
- While communities and people need to be educated on postpartum, we cannot rely on them for our healing when we are all suffering with these issues
- Why postpartum?
- Science and information behind the importance of postpartum healing and nutrition
- It all begins with you
