Ep. 50 Redefining Postpartum Care - a podcast by Liz Winters & Sharon Bailey
from 2020-04-16T12:00
What does postpartum care look like for you? For many people, after birth there are two doctor appointments and maybe a meal train. But at six weeks postpartum suddenly you're on your own and expected to be back to "normal." In this episode of the Beyond Birth Podcast, Dr. Angela Potter highlights why these expectations are problematic and how she is redefining postpartum care.
In this episode:
- I just had a baby... what just happened and where do I go from here?
- Why pelvic floor therapy benefits every postpartum birth, regardless of how you delivered.
- Specific things a postpartum person can do to support healing pelvic floor and overall health.
- Yoni Steaming: what is it, why it's beneficial and how to treat yo'self at home!
- Physical and emotional components of pelvic floor therapy.
- Redefining postpartum care means
- Things to consider when planning for postpartum.
