Postpartum Recovery Explained: Healing, Breastfeeding, Pelvic Floor & What to Expect After Birth

In this episode of Hormone Heroines, Dr. Heidi Codino and Dr. Serena Russum walk through the postpartum recovery journey, sharing what new mothers can expect physically, hormonally, and emotionally after birth. They discuss immediate postpartum care, including bleeding, perineal healing, and pain management strategies such as sitz baths, padcicles, and lidocaine sprays.

The conversation also explores abdominal separation (diastasis recti), pelvic floor dysfunction, and the importance of rest and proper core recovery techniques. Breastfeeding challenges, nipple pain, engorgement, and latch issues are addressed along with practical solutions for support and healing.

Finally, they highlight bowel health, hemorrhoid care, hormonal shifts, emotional wellbeing, and the critical importance of rest, support systems, and asking for help during the postpartum period.
