This one is for after the baby arrives…but you'll want to listen before, too. In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Lincoln is joined by Dr. Alicia Jeffrey-Thomas, pelvic floor physical therapist and author of Power to the Pelvis; Dr. Kristin Lasseter, board-certified reproductive psychiatrist and founder of Reproductive Psychiatry Counseling; and Arielle Fodor, aka Mrs. Frazzled, mom of three, former kindergarten teacher, education advocate, and host of the Teacher Quit Talk podcast, for an honest, judgment-free conversation about what actually happens after we give birth, and why we've been so bad at talking about it.
We Talk About…
Bounce-back culture: the pressure to be "back to normal" by six weeks, and why that timeline is a myth
What the pelvic floor really goes through, whether you had a vaginal birth or a C-section, and why Kegel challenges on social media are doing more harm than good
The hormone cliff: why estrogen and progesterone plummet after delivery, what that does to your brain, and why feeling emotionally off in those early weeks is not a personal failing
The "sticky thought" concept and how to recognize when you might need extra support
Why pelvic floor therapy and mental health care are both hard to access and harder to get covered by insurance
Misinformation about stopping medication during pregnancy, and where to go for reliable guidance
Feeding your baby: why "breast is best" is a harmful phrase, and why informed and supported is what really matters
