5:44 The Mind F*ck That Is Postpartum - What Your Body Actually Goes Through

Amanda is officially five weeks postpartum and we are getting into all of it.

This week: what happens when postpartum doesn't go to plan, four days in, Amanda's blood pressure spiked, she ended up in the ER sobbing, and the next two weeks were a revolving door of hospitals downtown Toronto.

We break down the medication spiral (shoutout to everyone on labetalol, we see you), what OB Med is and why you might need it, and the postpartum stuff nobody puts in the baby books.

We cover breast engorgement and milk coming in (the good and the painful), the real reason for your six week checkup (hint: it is not about sex), bleeding, uterine contracting, hemorrhoids, sitz baths, peri bottles, tucks pads, all of it.

Plus: postpartum anxiety and depression, the mom guilt that hits hard with older kids at home, and why postpartum is not four weeks, it's two years.

If you're pregnant, postpartum, or you've ever grown a human this ones for you!
