What happens when you go into your second birth knowing a little more, expecting a little more, and remembering just how hard postpartum can be?
In this episode of Doing It All(ish), Christina shares the full story of welcoming her second baby, from the birth itself to the first few months postpartum. After having a particularly difficult postpartum experience the first time around, she talks honestly about what she expected this time, what actually happened, and why this season has felt so different.
We talk about recovery, breastfeeding and pumping, figuring out childcare, returning to work, getting back to exercise, balancing a newborn with a toddler, and the mental load that comes with trying to be a mom, wife, business owner, and just a person at the same time.
Most of all, this episode is a reminder that there is no one right way to do postpartum. Sometimes the things that make the biggest difference are the people who help you, the routines that give you structure, and giving yourself permission to do this season differently than you imagined.
If you're pregnant, newly postpartum, thinking about having another baby, or just somewhere in the middle of your own version of doing it all-ish, we hope this conversation makes you feel a little less alone.
