Next, we’ll break down how to access these tests, from navigating options with your healthcare provider to exploring local labs or at-home testing services that can make these health checks more convenient.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have a practical roadmap for postpartum health checks, ensuring you’re as nourished, supported, and healthy as possible to meet the challenges and joys of motherhood head-on.
