REPLAY: EBB 118 - How to Have a Healthy Postpartum Transition with Dr. Alyssa Berlin

In one of the most popular podcast episodes ever published by Evidence Based Birth®, Dr. Rebecca Dekker sits down with Dr. Alyssa Berlin, a clinical psychologist specializing in pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting, to discuss ways to make the transition to postpartum smoother, healthier, and more joyful for families.

Together, they unpack why two-thirds of couples report a drop in relationship satisfaction after childbirth, what factors contribute to emotional struggles in the postpartum period, and how social media myths can set parents up for disappointment.

Through relatable stories and evidence-based strategies, Dr. Berlin explains why preparation during pregnancy matters and shares guidance on protecting mental health, building support, and keeping relationships strong.
